Seems nice. [00:25] kri, you might like aqualung [00:26] Amarok's prev version was amazing, they released the latest w/o most of the features it needs to be a complete player.

I wouldn't be supprised if someone has some debs.. [00:29] is it possible to modify a file on a filesystem without changing its mtime or atime ? I know about remounting the filesystem with noatime but I believe there's no such nomtime option? [00:29] BioVore: There are, I prefer to avoid 3rd party or bleeded edge installs [00:30] kri, hmm, I don't use gnome for this very reason - every version is so majorly different that it's hard keeping up with what's changed.

It says "Error, Permission Denied" [00:58] moleprince: looks very like http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openssh/bugs/45604 [00:58] voltagex, ya i saw that program [00:58] linux: qcp, seems to be a qualcomm proprietry format [00:58] voltagex, I have wine [00:59] voltagex, is right its qualcomm [00:59] david_: try opening it with audacity after finding out how the file format is arranged (big-endian, bitrate, sampling rate, etc) [00:59] voltagex, I meant to type I HATE wine [00:59] david_: try an mp3 on there first [00:59] Am I here? [00:59] anyone know how to bypass game guard? [00:59] losher: Already found that, thanks. So given that it's a known bug, though, is there anywhere else I can check that might give me more? [00:59] david_: of course using the import raw data in audacity (assuming not a midi child) [00:59] david_: Hate Wine hmm, why? [00:59] david_: although it sounds like your provider has disabled that... [00:59] voltagex, i did it only plays it in the music player it wont recognize it in the ringers section [00:59] ....Brasero only goes to 10X and I need 1X. How do I set it lower? [00:59] Hoping someone can help me. Earlier today my Ubuntu box quit doing DNS lookups or is doing them very slowly. I can ping google.com and it will literaly hang for minutes before it will get one reply, I can ping by IP address and it works fine [01:00] sebsebseb, just a laggy program imho [01:00] david_: unfortunaly your provider has crippled the phone [01:00] sebsebseb, bulky more to the point [01:00] TheSpazzz: a temporary solution is sudo /etc/resolv.conf and add "nameserver 208.67.222.222" without the quotes (opendns) [01:00] TheSpazzz, is your resolve.conf ok? [01:00] Vivian Vance would have been 100 years old this month. [01:00] voltagex, ya seems its typical lol [01:00] Even getting into the IRC room here gave me "host not found" [01:00] TheSpazzz: *sudo nano ... (correction) [01:01] voltagex, and here I was thinking id get Dinosaur JR on myphone lol [01:01] david_: Wine is a rather impressive program, a lot of stuff just works and works well in it these days, quite a bit won't though, but all the time and effort that had to be made to make Wine, if you had some idea about that, you would probably know it's amzing [01:01] david do you jalbreak your i touch to reconize in ubuntu with audacity or amarok ? [01:01] david_: well not amazing, but impressive yes [01:01] Can anyone here help me try and diagnose my low fps problem while running TF2 through wine? glxgear gives around 16k fps each loop [01:01] Are there any docs that instruct on howto store password in the key-right, and then how to later retrieve them using scripts/ [01:01] linux: Switching DNS server isn't the issue Windows does not exhibit the behavior [01:01] Anyhelp with brasero for me? [01:01] halloah! [01:01] sebsebseb, Im sure your right sadly my only experience with was a few years back and it was just awfully slow [01:01] TheSpazzz: does your ISP use DNS blocking techniques that blocks external IP'ed DNS servers? (like mine) [01:02] david_: well since a few years back 1.0 come out, and since then there have been quite a few releases as well [01:02] are there any applications for ubuntu that can check whether popular packages installed from source are outdated? [01:02] moleprince: well, there's an openssh user mailing list (among others). I assume that would be the appropriate place to discuss it. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openssh/ [01:02] sebsebseb, but you know how it goes first bad taste and then you dont want seconds [01:02] linux: No idea, Agian, I do not belive my connection is the issue. A windows XP machine, identical hardware, connected to identical router, connected to the same ISP, DOES NOT exibit this behavior. [01:02] TheSpazzz_, do you use some sort of firewall / nat or traffic shaping stuff? [01:03] enthdegree, good question I dont know generally checking the site where you downloaded the source pacakge is how I would go about it [01:03] TheSpazzz_: IPv6 routing issues maybe? [01:03] vaiy : Nope, PRacticly a vanilla Ubuntu install [01:03] voltagex, im gonna try and scam some downloads from sprint i didnt want to be forced to do that [01:03] david_: Wine or Windows virtual machine, unless 3D Windows gaming or some such, but even that's getting there [01:03] losher: Thanks, I'll try to look. Was wondering if there was a program I could use to gather more data [snort? something else??] [01:03] david_: oh yeah and ideally people should use native Linux apps on a Linux distro of course [01:03] sebsebseb, agreed [01:03] @coz True, I could always just use some page checker FF extension... [01:03] TheSpazzz: maybe try to compile resolv from source code? (its not that stable on ubuntu)? [01:03] wank you! [01:03] BioVore: God I hope not, Nivida won't compile on a kernel I can shut it off with (please don't get me started with Ubuntu and IPV6. I'd like to hang some of the devs for what they did with that) [01:03] THINK YJOU [01:04] Thank you.. =_= [01:04] enthdegree, I also generally only install pacakges that are not avialable for my distriburtioni [01:04] enthdegree, but I do compile applications regularly [01:04] enthdegree, I am also inclined to use svn or git revisions and versions rather than release appls [01:04] linux: Why compile it from scratch when it was working fine up till an hour ago? [01:04] ok thanks guys/gals/......I'm gonna try some alternatives cheers [01:04] david just a question you ask about i touch it is natively reconize by ubuntu or you use wine emulation just a question [01:04] nite! [01:04] TheSpazzz_: it refreshes the files on the system with the correct libraries === ^grim76^ is now known as Grim76 [01:05] git can't auto-compile/install software, though. Can it? [01:05] what's is alternate cd? [01:05] Can anyone point me to a nautilussvn tutorial? [01:05] enthdegree, I believe you can update a git install [01:05] enthdegree: git can do them all [01:05] TheSpazzz_, you could take a look at the traffic with some package capture tool. Wireshark [01:06] evening all, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/371750 I can't find apport-collect. which package provides it? [01:06] TheSpazzz_: you aren't using vpnc are you? [01:06] enthdegree, let me qualify that...you can update the source package but you will still have to recompile [01:06] KenSharp: apt-get install apport [01:06] my fonts are all blurred out [01:06] ubuntu_irc, a cd for installing ubuntu that uses a text based installer (ie. there is no live environment) [01:06] Well, that's still better than nothing. [01:06] KenSharp: looks like that file is in that package. [01:06] moleprince: are you saying you suspect the sftp represents a security breach? [01:06] where would i put the ubuntu.iso file to install from hard disk?https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows [01:06] can't read most words [01:07] BioVore, it's already installed. i guess there's something wrong with my paths [01:07] enthdegree, my example would be Inkscape... I only use svn and that has to be update but I still have to recompile the updated svn directory [01:07] miketosh: try a ctrl+alt+F2 to get to terminal [01:07] doesn't fedora have some new appli for that? [01:07] linux: ok, and? [01:07] miketosh: and a ctrl+alt+F7 to get back [01:07] ubuntu_irc: you need the contents of the iso and grub.. or just use the usb disk creater from the live image on another machine. [01:07] **this [01:07] linux: no luck [01:07] Can anyone point me to a nautilussvn tutorial? [01:08] linux: gets worse over time, more and more letters/fonts get blurred [01:08] ubuntu_irc, you must first burn it to a cd. [01:08] Is there any way to get the 2.6.31-7 kernel in Jaunty? [01:08] ubuntu_irc, perhaps I missed something, sorry [01:08] Wait, nevermind. that's for the OS, not applications. :P [01:08] NoCode: there's a ppa for a later kernel [01:08] BioVore: I don't want to use usb, i'm trying to install from hard disk , where to put the .iso file? from windows in c drive? [01:08] doesn't look like that package does provide it afaics [01:08] miketosh: I can't think why the software would do that. Could it be your monitor gets more blurred as it warms up? [01:08] losher: Yes. I know for a fact that nothing on that box should be using that service. [01:09] miketosh: sorry, i don't know what else to do, maybe a sudo apt-get install gnome-fonts* or sudo apt-get install x11*fonts* ? [01:09] sebsebseb: x-updates or something like that? [01:09] ubuntu_irc: and iso is a diskimage.. you have to put its contents on something. having it as a file on your windows drive dose nothing.. [01:09] NoCode: x-updates ??? [01:09] ubuntu_irc: Im not sure you can do a 'wubi' type install from the iso file (you might be able to using daemon tools or alcohol 120%) But i would reccomdne you test Uubntu in Virtualbox, or do a 'normal' install instead of using WUBI [01:09] !ppa > NoCode [01:09] NoCode, please see my private message [01:09] ubuntu_irc, do you want to install on or from the hard disk? [01:09] jdu: yes [01:09] NoCode: you can google for 2.6.30 ppa or some such, and it will be on launchpad [01:10] ubuntu_irc: you can use Unetbootin to make a bootabel/installable 'flash drive' to install from and play with. [01:10] ubuntu_irc, which? [01:10] I know what a PPA is. >.< [01:10] coz inkscape 0.47 devel work fine if you compil direct from inkscape reppository the svn file is bugy [01:10] Alright. [01:10] BioVore: where would i put the contents in c:\ drive ? or making a partition and there? [01:10] memorie probleme and some texture and split [01:10] moleprince: so your box is running an ssh server which is reachable from the internet? You could sniff incoming tcp connections I suppose... [01:11] Dr_Willis: i do not want to use usb , trying to install from windows hard disk ? is there any way to do this? [01:11] BioVore: is it must to have the alternate cd to install from hard disk ? [01:11] losher: possible that it is a screen thing, but it didn't happen in 8.04 or 8.10 [01:11] ubuntu_irc: if your tring to install ubuntu with that file.. you will need to put it on some outside media and boot from it.. [01:11] losher: Thanks, I'll see if tcpdump turns anything up. [01:11] ubuntu_irc: use daemon tools or similer tools to 'mount' the iso to do a WUBI install.. and i DO NOT reccomend wubi.. You could use Virtualbox and run Ubuntu Inside a virtual machine. [01:12] miketosh: personally, I downgraded to 8.04 LTS after getting fed up with 9.04 bugs... [01:12] !wubi [01:12] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [01:12] ubuntu_irc, ditto BioVore. you need to burn it to a cd, then install it from that. [01:12] Dr_Willis: no , tring to install from hard disk , like a live cd [01:12] losher: bugs such as? [01:12] sebsebseb: Is it possible to get the same performance in Jaunty as in karmic? There's a significant difference. I'm thinking I may have to reformat a partition and reinstall Jaunty again and see how that goes. [01:12] losher: I see that in my future :-( [01:12] BioVore: what do you mean by outside media? [01:12] NoCode: a difference? [01:12] NoCode: In what way does the performance differ? [01:12] ubuntu_irc: thats not doable without burning to cd or flash media then. Unless yoy really know your way around viirtualbox. that 'might' be possible with virtualbox.. [01:13] NoCode: well karmic has Ext4 by default, and a proper kernel for it, where as 9.04 has a kernel for it that may be a little hmm, but I never had problems with that, and Ext4 as optional file system [01:13] NoCode: Karmic uses ext4 by default - that might show some improvement. In addition, I think there are yet more boot-time tunings. [01:13] ubuntu_irc: the iso needs to be burned to a CD.. or you can create a usb bootable installer.. Theres your choices to install.. [01:13] ubuntu_irc: if you had 2 hard drives.. 'unetbootn' can do a frugal type install to one hard drive you could then boot.. and install to the 2nd hard drive. [01:13] Dr_Willis: i got a link http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html , will it do the job? [01:13] sebsebseb: the usual: sound, flash, wifi, other niggly little things that weren't the same that I now can't recall. Plus nothing in 9.04 I actually *needed*... [01:13] bcj: Overall functionality. In hardy. normally I'd be getting around 400 FPS with glxgears. In harmic, I'm getting over 4000FPS. [01:14] ubuntu_irc: no idea. ive never heard of that url, or bothered to install that way. I use flash media. Much easier.. [01:14] NoCode: That might be a driver that's not backported? [01:14] Hi, i updated my ubuntu, and Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic, installed, but now with #uname -r , i see 2.6.28-13-generic, How to update my grub or menu.lst [01:14] ubuntu_irc: comes to a point where its proberly doable.. but any problems you have. You wont have the experioence to know whats going on or how to fix it.. === Guest57469 is now known as TempNick [01:14] ubuntu_irc: yeah.. technically you can do it that way.. not very simple straite forward though.. [01:14] losher: yeah 9.04 seems a bit pointless, except for the Ext4, but see my comment just now to NoCode [01:15] ubuntu_irc: that guide may or may not work.. i would guess most likely not. Too many little things to watch out for. [01:15] losher: well on the other computer 8.10 and the Internet won't work, 9.04 and karmic, no problem [01:15] losher: I can fix for a short time if I reset the screen resolution [01:15] Personally, I use 8.10 and I'll wait for 9:10 [01:15] sebsebseb: I'm not using ext4 in Karmic atm. I'm not worried about boot time either. I just want usability like in karmic, but in Jaunty. [01:15] losher: and 8.04 will work for Internet on there [01:15] ubuntu_irc: if you want to test out ubuntu - try it in virtualbox for now if you cant burn to iso/flash drive [01:16] sebsebseb: I used solaris on sun for years. I guess I got spoiled by the utter stability of that OS... [01:16] NoCode: usabilty in karmic, explain what you mean by that exactly? [01:16] !virtualbox [01:16] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [01:16] losher: maybe Debian Stable or some such is more for you [01:17] sebsebseb: Well, currently I have sound issues in Karmic and it's fast. Very comparable to Windows in speed. Jaunty, no issues whatsoever, but it's just slow to do anything. [01:18] There's a significant difference in Karmic, but it's just the sound that's boggled. [01:18] losher: ever looked at opensolars? [01:18] NoCode: I haven't noticed a difference, when it comes to speed, 9.04 and 9.10. Ext3 and Ext4 though yep that faster boot up time === MidsummerDawn is now known as DwnwrdSprl [01:19] sebsebseb: I played with debian under vmware for a while. In the end, I think 8.04 LTS is a good compromise between stability & ease-of-setup, particularly as I don't use gnome/nautilus/compiz or other gui stuff... [01:19] Anyway. Have a good one. [01:19] Hi, i updated my ubuntu, and Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic, installed, but now with #uname -r , i see 2.6.28-13-generic, How to update my grub or menu.lst [01:19] NoCode: maybe it's, because HAL isn't in 9.10 or something like that, why apparnatly it's faster for you than 9.04 [01:19] sarthor, did you reboot it? [01:20] vaiy : Not using wireless [01:20] linux : no idea what that even is so I assume no [01:20] Leonardxxxx, yes,j i did, [01:20] sarthor: should have done it by itself, but you can do sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add it [01:20] linux_: darn, ok [01:20] sarthor: uh gksudo [01:20] apport-collect doesn't show up til Jaunty. this explains it. [01:20] question: how to upgrade from ubuntu 6.06 to 8.04? [01:20] using ubuntu-server [01:20] sebsebseb, i can edit it in vi editor, but i dont konw what change or path have to change, [01:20] sarthor: use gksudo when doing a graphical app as root/sudo/admin [01:21] at grub time, did you choose 2.6.28-15-generic kernel? [01:21] linux: I have done that here using apt-get dist-upgrade [01:21] BioVore, what is the command in termianl to check ubuntu verisn? [01:21] sarthor: you can copy the current kernel entry, and change the numbers to the newer one, that should work [01:21] linux: lsb_release -a [01:21] lsstarnes: thanks [01:21] Leonard, at boot time that 2.6.28.15 is not listed. [01:22] !upgrade | linux [01:22] linux: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [01:22] Could I install 2.6.31-7 if it's in a PPA, and remove HAL in Jaunty? [01:22] linux: didn't we start here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades [01:22] sebsebseb, i once change 13 to 15 but then my WLAN stopped working, i thought my fault. [01:22] lstarnes: already checked there [01:22] losher: one more min to finish the apt-get dist-upgrade, then checking lsb_release -a [01:23] linux: what about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades ? [01:23] lstarnes: the package to upgrade couldn't be installed because of broken packages [01:23] lstarnes: i just installed ubuntu-server 6.06 today and have no other packages on it [01:23] sarthor: well maybe it works better with the older kernel === _Grim76_ is now known as Grim76__ [01:24] !6.06 | linux [01:24] linux: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on July 14th 2009, Server support will end in June 2011. See !upgrade for upgrade instructions [01:24] sorry all, apt-get dist-upgrade didn't change lsb_release -a [01:24] linux: you probably should have put 8.04 on [01:24] is there a drop in replacement for jasper or is there a better way to sync in a webcam to kopete? [01:24] sebsebseb: i have the server version installed [01:24] !8.04 | linux [01:24] linux: Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [01:24] linux: dist-upgrade only updates the packages to the most version for that release [01:24] #Ubuntu-es [01:24] linux: yes, but even so, probably better to run 8.04 [01:25] lstarnes: update-manager-core won't install b/c of broken packages, i have no CD drive and motherboard doesn't support USB boot [01:25] How can i go to the Ubuntu spanish chat? [01:25] sayel: /join #ubuntu-es [01:25] ty (: [01:25] linux: what packages are broken? [01:26] python-gnupginterface [01:26] mmm [01:26] linux: then again I guess it doesn't really matter for the server version, as long as the one you have is being suppourted, which yours still is [01:26] linux: what happens when you use sudo apt-get install python-gnupginterface? [01:26] i tried that, uninstallable === br34l_ is now known as br34l === daBomb|Not-Here is now known as Chazz [01:26] (no installation canidate) === goodGary is now known as Gary [01:27] linux: unetbootin is said to allow you to install from an iso to a hard drive without a CD. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net [01:27] losher: i can do that, i saved a 1 GB partition (empty) upon ubuntu-server 6.06 installation today [01:27] unetbootin is awesome. I love not wasting any CDs [01:27] ok, have a question. I'm sort of new to linux and I have two NTFS internal partitions that I can't figure out how to mount [01:27] linux: try sudo apt-get install python2.4-gnupginterface? [01:28] I can see them in GParted and they look okay.. is there something like Disk Manager? [01:28] caseyd: as long as Windows shutdown the NTFS partiton properly, Ubuntu shoudn't have a problem mounting them [01:28] lstarnes: couldn't find package [01:29] lstarnes: maybe i'll track down the *.deb and manual install that one [01:29] Can I remove HAL in Jaunty and still use 2.6.31-7? [01:29] linux: try gnupginterface instead of python-gnupginterface [01:29] sebsebseb, their in my mythbuntu box.. they haven't seen windows in awhile. They worked inside linux yesterday but not today [01:29] losher: thats a special 'frugal/live cd ' type install. not a normal install [01:29] lstarnes: no package found for that either [01:30] linux: then I'm out of ideas [01:30] NoCode: removing HAL in Jauntey is probably not a good idea [01:30] caseyd: I don't know [01:30] lstarnes: thanks, i'll try to install manually or add sources.list to restricted URLs [01:31] okay now I do get, 'The enclosing drive for the volume is locked'... any ideas, I'm looking around google [01:31] linux: it might be in universe [01:31] Is there a way to access the passwords storedin the key-ring through a bash script/ [01:31] is there a drop in replacement for jasper or is there a better way to sync in a webcam to kopete? or is there a better way to do video chat with a yahoo messenger (ubuntu 9.04 64 bit) [01:32] WebcamWonder, no, they're stored in protected memory - and not in clear text either [01:32] hola, ¿alguien podría decirme si tiene tb el problema que la instalación de google earth la ventana no es estable en ubuntu 9? no para de pestañear [01:32] !es | steppenwolf [01:32] steppenwolf: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [01:32] what program do i use to defrag ubuntu partitions [01:32] thank [01:32] !defrag | sim_ [01:32] sim_: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [01:32] what does it mean if my files show up as bold and blue when I do ls -l ?? [01:32] sim_: normally you dont. [01:32] sim_, linux doesn't need defragmentation [01:32] unop: Umm... but, still, if other applications can access them (like nm-applet), can a script acess them/ (with the proper authentication that is) [01:32] why cos its modular? [01:32] does anyone have webcam support for pidigin? [01:32] pidign [01:33] sim_: 'normally' you dont. its how the fileystem is designed. [01:33] pidgin? [01:33] i want to set up "mail" cli utility to send mail via my gmail smtp. the guides exim4-config via google are failing (no route to google host). please help (i want to start receiving unattended upgrades emails) [01:33] commander_: it doesn't have webcam suppourt at the moment, AMSN does though for MSN [01:33] lstarnes: that fixed the problem: allowing restricted URLs to be uncommented in the sources.list [01:33] Dominik1: I think it means that the permissions on the file have the sticky bnit set [01:33] AMSN?! [01:33] WebcamWonder, other applications do not access them - you provide your password to the keyring application, it computes a secure hash and compares that against the one stored in the keyring -- pretty much like how passwords are stored in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow [01:33] lstarnes right after the permissions there is a number what does that number mean? [01:34] Dominik1: file size [01:34] is there a good yahoo messenger for ubuntu 9.04 that supports webcam?? [01:34] mds58: kopete? [01:34] unop: Any documentation I can read up on? [01:34] Dominik1: actually, i think it's something other than the sticky bit [01:34] Can you redirect the stdout of an app when your daemonize it with &? [01:34] xnox: I use ssmtp for exactly this purpose. 8 lines of config & it's done. It's only suitable for an always-connected machine though... [01:34] lstarnes one folder says 2 another says 3 and my files say 1, file size doesn't make sense ? [01:34] Blehk: yes, but put the & after the redirections [01:34] Blehk: yes.. but i forget how. :) seen it in the 'advanced bash guide' i recall [01:34] mds58: yahoo messenger makes a version of its software for linux i believe [01:34] maco kopete wont pick up the webcam without jasper and jasper seems to have been dicontinued [01:35] awesome lstarnes thanks [01:35] Blehk: I ve seen examples that make use of &1 and &2 befor to do that in some special cases. [01:35] mds58: empathy? maybe?

[01:36] coolkourt: you have to use ghex (hex editor) to read the binary hex bits in a *.bin file, or you could execute it with chmod +x filename.bin && chmod 755 filename.bin && ./filename.bin [01:36] coolkourt, what are you trying to accomplish by doing that? [01:36] nation: check out gufw if you're using gnome [01:36] i am trying to install something from adobe.com thats a plugin for eclipse [01:37] tried to use firestarter with my network bridge but failed to get that to work [01:37] xnox: http://linux.com/archive/feature/132006 for an overview.

[01:37] NeXstaR: use the google to find yourself a .conkyrc if you havent already [01:38] is there a short cut key to bring that up also [01:38] * Dr_Willis hates having to dig out the actual 'problem' [01:38] what is the name of the app where you select wich sound engine to use?

[01:39] laptop has thin blue line about 1/3 from the right side from top to bottom, what can i do? [01:40] NeXstaR: dont bother msging.. use the channel.. i can go hrs without ever noticeing a MSG. [01:40] judgen: which version of ubuntu are you using? [01:40] !pastebin | NeXstaR [01:40] NeXstaR: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [01:40] coreyman: do you get this line in the bootup bios screen, if so, its the physical monitor [01:41] coreyman: replace the screen [01:41] coreyman: if not, change the resolution and refresh rates (lower) [01:41] ahh just had to manually mount my 'locked' ntfs partitions using sudo mount [01:41] gufw wont mess with my networy k bridge will it just make it easy to config ip tables right [01:41] thanks m=) [01:41] coreyman: you need to find out if it's a software or hardware problem. Does it happen with windows? [01:42] Dr_Willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260630/plain/ [01:42] lstarnes, Karmic [01:42] I decided to download ephiphany browser using the add/remove programs. I can't find it on my system though. [01:42] maco it's not just cabling problem? [01:43] aj_444, try starting a run dialogue and just type ephiphany [01:43] aj_444: try in GNOME, left drop down menu, internet; if not there, go to terminal and type ephiphany like judgen said [01:43] (applications → internet → ephiphany) [01:43] NeXstaR: try some diffrent conky configs.. you could of just pasted that it was seg faulting.. No idea if the config is doing that or not. Try some different configs like the ones i got on my page. [01:44] judgen: is a run dialouge a terminal? [01:44] aj_444, in gnome press alt+f2 if you dont want to run via terminal. [01:44] aj_444, that will bring up a run dialogue. [01:44] Bolvadur: I checked. Its not in there. [01:45] judgen: is there a way I can add an icon of epiphany to the desktop, or do I have to do the run dialouge thing each time? [01:45] aj_444, you can add it just like you make any other icon. [01:45] is there any main stream tweaks you can do to perform the function of ubuntu out of the box [01:45] i someonw for help [01:46] i someone for help [01:46] aj_444, try right clicking applications at the top right and see if there is an option to edit menu? might be under system -> preferences -> edit menu also [01:46] I install ubuntu, at the time of installation will have the option to create a new partition? [01:46] !ask | Erilton [01:46] Erilton: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[01:47] linux. [01:47] Erilton: be sure to select "Manual" if you want to do it by hand [01:47] hi how to get compiz?? [01:47] do i need to install the ccsm? [01:47] O__o: install ccsm to have more controll of compiz [01:47] linux: judgen: I figured it out. Thanks for the help. :) [01:47] lol linux, when did you register your nick? 20 yrs ago? [01:47] O__o: i also always install/use fusion-icon [01:48] Dr_Willis, is the command sudo apt-get install ccsm ??? [01:48] Erilton: there has to be 10GB freely unpartitioned first, otherwise you have to resize your xp partition [01:48] sim_, highly unlikely as linux was released in the 90ś [01:48] O__o: 'apt-cache search ccsm' or just tyr typing 'ccsm' and the shell should tell you [01:48] !ccsm [01:48] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [01:48] problem with installing ubuntu 9.04 from windows hard disk. anyone there who has installed ubuntu from windows hard disk? [01:48] linux: so I'll restart my computer and ubuntu to install, you are sure that there will have the option Manual and the option to partition my hd? === jeremy is now known as Riobe [01:48] Dr_Willis: oky ive got it working how to place it top right and embedded in background like slax one ? [01:48] sshh [01:48] anyone have simple advice on how to get a wireless internet card running, for someone who's computer- and linux- ignorant? :( [01:48] what the hell is wrong with firefox? it always gray out since i upgrade to new ubuntu distro. [01:48] Erilton: I am sure, it will not overwrite anything unless you tell it to (not automatically) [01:48] Dr_Willis, thx dude [01:49] NeXstaR: now is the time to read the Conky docs/faq/guides on how to make your own configs. Mine are top right/on the desktop. see the 10000s of examples that exist on the internet. [01:49] Erilton: Do not write to disk anything in the installation if you want to view the partitions [01:49] help, apple quicktime trailers stopped working [01:49] what do i do? [01:49] ok im totally new to linux.. I've got no sound when playing anything from the system. Is there a device manager or sound manager i could check? [01:50] Anyone have any ideas why playing any sort of video would crash Hardy Heron? [01:50] knasto: sudo apt-get install vlc (using alt+f2) [01:50] is there an Official Package(tm) for 9.04 for the 'xz' compression utils? [01:50] coreyman: if youre talking about a line of dead pixels...no. though i suppose the screen could have a crappy connector to the cable...but i think > 1 pixel would be affected. or is it a wide stripe? [01:50] linux: i mean streaming quicktime trailers on firefox [01:50] caseyd: do you have a compaq f7nr* version? [01:50] coreyman: i mean, i got that its a stripe, but is it 1px wide or like 200px wide? [01:50] gkahla: none i can see in the package manager. [01:51] coreyman: I have those as well, it is the lcd/cable's fault [01:51] knasto, apple changed something in the past couple of days; you need to wget the avatar or other trailers to watch them [01:51] linux: ive never had any problems with the totem plugin, until recently, i guess apple mustve updated their quicktime version [01:51] brb [01:52] okay, rephrasing since I was ignored the first time. :/ anyone have any idea why my card works fine with windows and not with linux? [01:52] bazhang: so is it always going to be like this, or are they going to update the totem plugin [01:52] i think my problem is that it's reading my hdmi out as a sound card, how can I choose which soundcard I want? [01:52] Dr_Willis, yeah, I've got the lzma stuff installed but there aren't any options to create *.xz files in Archive Manager [01:52] knasto, its not the problem with totem, it's apple changing their website [01:52] caseyd: pavucontrol lets you set hte default soundcard for pulseaudio to route through [01:52] bazhang: so how do i wget them? [01:52] plus, xz doesn't show up with 'which xz' [01:53] I need desktop search. which should I choose? [01:53] Tracker or Beagle? [01:53] knasto, there is a thread on ubuntuforums on just this topic [01:53] bazhang: can you link me? [01:53] knasto: use "-U Quicktime/screwapple.0" or some such when you pull it so it thinks its quicktime. [01:54] i followed this http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html ,but can't get the installation option like live cd [01:54] installing pavucontrol, thanks =) [01:54] gkahla: check the command line tools.. ive never even heard of .xz [01:54] i followed this http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html ,but can't get the installation option like live cd , can't install ubuntu [01:54] Looking for someone that has alot of experience with eeepc's and ubuntu. [01:55] knasto: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9cmj6/no_more_applecom_movie_trailers_for_linux_users/ [01:55] Dr_Willis, why desktop effect cant be enabled?? i have ATI card [01:55] O__o: I think you may of answered your own question... :) [01:55] detonation, best to just ask your question [01:55] maco, and linux, thanks [01:56] bazhang, I hate spamming my paragraph explaining my problem. [01:56] this is as wierd as, lshw -C network claims that eth0 is disabled, yet its the NIC that connects to the internet [01:56] O__o: I dont use ati.. so cant tell. ati has been doing some goofy things lately. Pashaos the forums or someone in the channle has your exact ati card and may know more. [01:57] detonation: its not spamming if you only say it once? [01:57] I have an EEE PC 1000he running an up to date Jaunty NBR. My problems started when I upgraded to the new "partial upgrade". Jaunty originally had a problem with Wifi stopping working after a suspend. I had it fixed, it's back again with a vengance. It kills the wifi card to the point it doesn't show up on ls pci anymore [01:57] ubuntu_irc: i would be suprised iF that guide worked.. plus If you booted an ISO from the hard drive that way. you would have to have your hard drives 'repartioned' to begin with to install to the new partitions. The installer would not be able to 'resize' the hard drive - since it would be in use. [01:57] I have to reboot into windows, and re-enable it using device manager, then reboot back into linux to use it again. modprobe -r ath9k ; modprobe ath9k shows like it's going to work, but nothing actually happens. [01:58] Dr_Willis: won't that work?http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html , what to do then? [01:58] iwconfig shows no wireless devices and lspci -nn shows no card installed. [01:58] Dr_Willis, thx [01:58] knasto: try synaptic'ing the totem*bad*plugins (they have all the bad propietary codecs) [01:59] I cant sudo chown or sudo chmod my external drive mount point in /media... why is this so how can I get around it??? [01:59] 1 NIC is on board the other is a realtek [01:59] maco 1 px [02:00] restarting /etc/networking generates a an error [02:00] coreyman: i dont *think* a bad cable would only take out one pixel... does sound like some sort of hardware issue though [02:00] SIOCADDRT: No such process [02:00] hi! [02:00] coreyman: find a repair shop? [02:00] Why is #wine invite only? [02:00] maco that's BS.. cheap peice of... [02:00] JoshDreamland, its #winehq [02:01] what's wine? XD [02:01] !wine [02:01] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [02:01] JoshDreamland: it's #winehq [02:01] thank you [02:01] maco, any clue since I typed all of that out? [02:01] but what's #wine? [02:01] linux, apparantly apple changed their site. maco and bazhang helped me wget them [02:01] if #winehq is for WINE [02:01] anyone knows how to uninstall Amarok [02:01] hi, im trying to setup an ircd-hybric irc server,, but cant connect from the outside world, ive already routed port 6667 to my server, anyone got any ideas? [02:01] i guess wine just redirects to winehq [02:02] hey, 1 question. Is it possible to make a virus that plays an ultra loud noise that makes you deaf? [02:02] cam someone help me? [02:02] knasto: awesome [02:02] !ask | ubuntu [02:02] ubuntu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:02] yep [02:02] miguelonnnn, wrong channel to ask about virus creation [02:02] my ubuntu crashed and im running off the cd, i have ubuntu 8.10 and i was wondering how i can mount the previous file system so that i can copy some of the files i had to an external hdd [02:02] can anyone tell me how to remove Amarok completely [02:02] sorry bazhang , but i know you are the best virus programmers hehe [02:03] ubuntu: Well, here's how it works. You ask questions, we answer questions. [02:03] miguelonnnn, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [02:03] i asked it.. lol [02:03] ok thanks ! byee [02:03] I have an EEE PC 1000he running an up to date Jaunty NBR. My problems started when I upgraded to the new "partial upgrade". Jaunty originally had a problem with Wifi stopping working after a suspend. I had it fixed, it's back again with a vengance. It kills the wifi card to the point it doesn't show up on ls pci anymore and have to reboot to windows and enable it in device manager then reboot to linux. Any ideas? [02:03] ubuntu: sudo mkdir /media/tempdrive && sudo mount /dev/hdaX (or sdaX) where X is the partition number you are trying to mount [02:04] how do i get the partion number? [02:04] why can I not change permissions or ownership of my external drive? [02:04] detonation: Don't use suspend. [02:04] ubuntu: i do it by trial and error; anyone else here know a more precise way [02:04] alanpan: use the "purge" option in your package manager. [02:04] nsp, it's a netbook. Why wouldn't I use suspend? [02:04] does wubi come with network admin? :/ [02:04] ubuntu: its usually from 1 - 4 [02:04] detonation: file bug [02:04] ok [02:05] ubuntu: "sudo fdisk -l" will list all partitions and their sizes [02:05] ubuntu: you can compare biggest to littlest and narrow it down that way [02:05] anyone [02:05] detonation: Because it causes more problems than it's worth. [02:05] maco, I'm not sure if it's related to eeepc-acpi-utilties or a ubuntu bug. [02:05] is it possible to do this in windows "mount -o loop file.iso /dev/sda7" ? [02:05] i don't get it where is purge in package manager [02:05] SIOCADDRT: No such process Failed to bring up eth1 [02:05] detonation: if its normal UNR, its supported [02:06] ubuntu_irc: microsoft windows? >: [02:06] alanpan: Depends on your package manager. If you are using "aptitude", just press "p". [02:06] quantum: sudo ifup eth0 (or your network adapter; a sudo ifconfig will show them all) [02:06] daz: yes [02:06] ok its not working.. i tryed 1-10 on both hda and sda.. =\ [02:06] ubuntu_irc: there's a program for mounting isos, yes...but i forget its name [02:06] quantum: you can also try a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:06] ubuntu_irc: daemon tools? [02:06] ubuntu_irc: MagicDisk [02:06] linux did that, i posted the outcome [02:06] can i do it in terminal [02:07] ubuntu: what's MagicDisk? [02:07] To mount iso image: mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /home/somebody/foobar.iso /mnt/cdrom [02:07] quantum: try a different network manager, like wicd? [02:07] google it.. its an iso mounter [02:07] failed that as well [02:07] did lshw -C [02:07] it claims that the NIC that's connected to the internet, is actually disabled.... [02:07] quantum: i take it you didn't find the problem there either? hmmm [02:08] i tried to google, but all i found was a gateway error [02:08] nsp: i tried what you said.. it didt work.. :( [02:08] quantum: ensure its in the /etc/rc.X folders (lower ones I think) where X = 1, 2...6 [02:08] alanpan: aptitude can be done in terminal. Synaptic uses the "remove completely" option for purging. [02:08] checked .../.../70-rules [02:08] ubuntu: its a hard disk you are trying to mount; i had one that wouldn't mount and the hard disk was broken in the end [02:09] even reversed eth0 to eth1 [02:09] alanpan: You can also use the command "aptitude purge " [02:09] how can I change permission on external drive, please [02:09] the latest hplip won't install for me. it attempts to install the python dependencies and gives an error 255. running jaunty [02:09] linux: its not.. i can still access it.. but idk how to mount it [02:09] quantum: try ipfilter packet forwarding from eth1 to eth0? [02:09] in windows i installed it in G:\ubuntu [02:09] quantum: that might enable it again [02:09] it gave me this error E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [02:09] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [02:09] how do i do that? [02:10] ubuntu: i could access the broken hard disk too, that didn't mean it was working 100% [02:10] alanpan: sudo aptitude ... [02:10] (syntex)? [02:10] Dominik1: You shouldn't need to change permissions on external drive. What problem are you having. [02:10] >? [02:10] Hi! How can I delete all all packages except those in "base" and the ones I specifically select (with their dependencies) ? [02:10] quantum: i have been working on that myself for another project, sf.net has a network sharing program for linux that utilizes the ipfilter program in liux [02:10] quantum: forgot the name though [02:10] linux: it works fine.. i just cant boot ubuntu thats installed on it.. i can still use it normally in windows.. is there a way to list the devices to mount? [02:11] alanpan: fiddling with administrative stuff always requires a sudo. [02:11] ubuntu: try editing the partition number in grub, brb [02:11] now it is showing is another process using it? [02:11] linux - got a keyword i can google? :) [02:11] i've frisked the web for the keyword [02:11] alanpan: Do you have any other package manager open? Like synaptic? [02:12] hey there.. if i try to hibernate my laptop it says sometimes that i don't have enough free swap available [02:12] kismet: How much swap and how much RAM do you have? [02:12] then you need to increase you swap file size... or try closing some apps beforehand [02:12] keyword = error... [02:12] Dominik1: Show us what you have now: ls /mount/point ; fdisk -l > pastebin [02:12] RAM 2GB and Swap 1GB [02:12] kismet: there you are. [02:12] Dominik1: pastebininit [02:12] is there a terminal command for empying recent documents? [02:13] kismet: How is your system going to swap out 2GB of stuff onto 1 GB of swap? [02:13] Dominik1: pastebinit [02:13] lenny0815: but i read in some installation instruction that it is always 2 times your RAM until 1GB [02:13] nsp hang on [02:13] nsp [02:13] its already mounted... [02:14] i tried it again with package manager closed. Now it shows this Couldn't find package "Amarok". However, the following [02:14] packages contain "Amarok" in their name: [02:14] kismet: Well, unless you want to use hibernate, where you need as much swap as you have RAM. [02:14] imasq? === Critical_Threat is now known as baba_b00ie [02:14] Dominik1: fdisk -l > pastebinit [02:14] lenny0815: so on hibernate it tries to write all the stuff in swap??? [02:14] kismet: that rule is for swapping. Not suspend/resume. Suspend copies the contents of RAM to the swap partition. Hopefully you can now see the problem... [02:14] kismet: Swapspace is not used much when you have 2 gig of RAM. But for hibernation, well. See above :) [02:14] cd [02:14] lenny0815: yeah now i see it. hmm that is s**** [02:14] and this 'Couldn't find package "Amarok". However, the following [02:14] ' [02:15] thanks so much for helping me <3 [02:15] Hi, I'm using an atheros wireless card and seem to have both ath9k and sky2 drivers active. I get lots of network problems, and I wonder if it's because these two drivers are conflicting. Which driver is the correct one to use for an atheros chipset? [02:15] How can I change the position of the image on my splashscreen [02:15] how to install earth desktop? [02:15] alanpan: it is "amarok" not "Amarok". Unix (and Linux) is case sensitive. [02:15] trying to update hplip to the latest version via their website does not get past installing python dependencies. can i install them via synaptic to solve the problem [02:15] hi again, 1 more question please :). I know that bc of bios limitations, kernel must be at first 1024 cylinders of any disk. (CHS). I want(i'm aware there are many tools, but i want do it this way) make a bootable usb installer so i can install ubuntu in any pc. What should i do? [02:16] nsp fdisk -l produces no output [02:16] kismet: Extend your swap partition and that's that. [02:16] Dominik1: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit === _pepperphd is now known as pepperphd [02:16] Dominik1: sudo [02:16] lenny0815: i guess.. i made alll primary partitions... [02:16] what i mean that there are many tools, is that i want make it by dd to my usb from a mounted iso image of xubuntu [02:16] so I can't just resize them.. :( i guess [02:16] kismet: why not? [02:17] kismet: parted is your friend. [02:17] lenny0815: would my home partition which is after swap not be damaged ... [02:17] miguelonnnn: not all pcs can boot from usb. The older the machine, the less likely it is support usb boot. For maximum compatibility, make a bootable cd/dvd... [02:17] nsp http://pastebin.com/m51bc1be3 [02:17] Dominik1: ls -l /media/ | pastebinit [02:18] thanks lenny [02:18] Has anyone here used FreeNAS and connected to the FreeNAS server through Ubuntu/wireless? [02:18] is sky2 a wireless driver or an ethernet driver? I can find very little information on it. [02:18] losher, my pc's can [02:18] how do i edit grub? [02:19] miguelonnnn: sorry, when you said *any* pc, I took you literally... [02:19] /boot/grub/ [02:19] i got 2 netbooks, which can boot from usb but no from cd cause they haven't [02:19] is there fancy music player for ubuntu [02:19] haha ¯^_^ ok np ! :) [02:19] kismet: You will have to shrink the home partition and grow the swap partition. But do make a backup of all important data, before you mess with that. Something might go wrong. [02:19] alanpan: Exaile ? [02:19] then what should i do please? [02:19] alanpan: what do you mean "fancy" [02:19] alanpan: Songbird, Banshee, Amarok, Rhythm Box, Audacious [02:20] flanders: and Exaile [02:20] i'm afraid that making a simple dd to my usb, won't ensure that kernel and all that stuff which should be at first 1023 "cylinders" are allocated there [02:20] i just uninstalled Amarok, which gave me a lot of trouble [02:20] alanpan: what's wrong with rhythmbox? [02:20] thank you lenny0815 ... [02:20] nothing wrong with rhythmbox [02:20] I prefer exaile [02:20] is that good? cuz i haven't tried that yet. [02:20] at the moment my terminal has a white background, how can i customise it to have a black background with green font? [02:21] sonbird is nice, but too buggy and a memory hog.

[02:23] ;) [02:24] Is there a way to delete packages I don't use? My ubuntu installation grew to 4GB, and I probably don't use most of it, so I don't want to waste time updating it, etc. [02:24] hay alguien que hable español [02:24] !es | codigo [02:24] codigo: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [02:24] u-noob-u: you can try apt-get autoremove, or install a package called debfoster, run it, select the packages you like and let it uninstall anything not pulled in as dependency [02:25] u-noob-u: the trick is knowing what you don't need.... [02:25] careful with debfoster, though, keep the foo-desktop package you have, and probably ubuntu-minimal or ubuntu-standard [02:25] u-noob-u: most of that is proberly some cache/tmp stuff.. Unless you REALLY started installing things. :) [02:25] yeah thanks losher, i know all that, but they use programs like syslinux , what i want to know is how to put the necessary files at beggining of the disk, and how to set the path so when i boot from usb it know where kernel binary and all that exactly is [02:25] I mean, my stupid ubuntu install is also 4 GB, so I understand perfectly well that it grows large rapidly [02:26] Dr_Willis: I had this installation longer than a year, and I like to try various stuff... [02:26] 4gb is large? :) heh . my C:/windows/winsx directory is like 8+gb on windows.. :) [02:26] u-noob-u: i always do clean installes with each new release.. helps clean out the cruft. [02:26] hey guys, i'm trying to use postfix to send out mail, but every time i try to send to something like "site@mydomain.com" postfix tries to route it locally [02:26] l [02:26] i want everything to go externally [02:26] any advice? [02:26] Dominik1: ls -l /media/ | pastebinit [02:26] nsp I remounted in a different directory and now it works, thanks [02:27] u-noob-u: use some of the various directory 'size' display tools see whats taking up the most space.. could be some spare iso/orhter files laying about [02:27] Dominik1: Ok... very good. [02:27] Dr_Willis: I was kind of looking forward to dist-upgrading to 9.04 instead. Configuring everything again.... argh... [02:27] Dominik1: Be sure and un-mount before pulling it out. [02:28] you don't have to reinstall. Seriously. I keep on running ubuntu installs for as long as they hang together -- it's literally years. [02:28] i'll tell you more specifically: i want to make an exact copy of the cd installer into the usb. My plans are to format the disk to fat32, set a partition table, and to dump the image there [02:28] Dr_Willis: I did `du -sh .` in /usr and /lib - about 4GB together [02:28] then make it bootable with fdisk [02:28] I can't install my VGA Driver can anyone help me plz? [02:28] foobar2k: postfix is huge overkill if you only need simple outgoing mail. Will ssmtp do instead? http://linux.com/archive/feature/132006 [02:29] miguelonnnn: unetbottin? [02:29] alankila: but how do you delete the cruft that builds up? [02:29] with debfoster mostly [02:29] nsp why? [02:29] it will nuke your system next to nothing if you want it to [02:29] alankila: didn't someone just say it can screw up your system, royally? [02:29] nsp whats unmount command, I can only mount [02:29] u-noob-u: I don't know, I've been using it for years, but don't uninstall the wrong stuff with it, or it will remove everything === vo1d is now known as vo|d [02:30] I have an EEE PC 1000he running an up to date Jaunty NBR. My problems started when I upgraded to the new "partial upgrade". Jaunty originally had a problem with Wifi stopping working after a suspend. I had it fixed, it's back again with a vengance. It kills the wifi card to the point it doesn't show up on ls pci anymore and have to reboot to windows and enable it in device manager then reboot to linux. Any ideas? [02:30] just keep the packages with names like ubuntu-* and you're probably safe. [02:30] Dominik1: umount [02:30] nsp what does it mean if my folders show up with green background when doing ls? [02:30] Dominik1: But you can right-click on the desktop icon and you will see the option to unmount [02:31] Dominik1: it means that anyone can write to it [02:31] Dominik1: check the permissions on them.. the color codes show different permissions [02:31] losher: i need postfix, im using various milters [02:32] lstarnes: Dr_Willis your right, question: how do i get drwxrwxrwx permission? 0777 gives drwxr-xr-x permission [02:32] can anyone help me with my VGA Driver? [02:32] foobar2k: then try #postfix ? [02:32] Dominik1: use the proper chmod command. [02:33] Dr_Willis which is? [02:33] Dominik1: this isent on a NTFS/vfat filesystem is it? [02:33] Dr_Willis ext3 [02:33] Dominik1: then 777 should do that. [02:33] Dr_Willis only my external backup drive is fat32 [02:33] I cheat and use 'mc' to set permissions a lot. helps ya learn the #'s [02:33] Dominik1: sudo chmod -R 777 /media/whatever-the-mount-point-is will make all files dirs rwxrwxrwx [02:33] theres also some chmod widgits ive seen. to help learn them [02:34] nsp: 777 makes them rwxr-xr-x :( [02:34] ok, lshw -c shows both NICs are enabled [02:35] SIOCADDRT: No such process Failed to bring up eth1 [02:35] Dominik1: I'm sorry [02:35] hey, does Ubuntu suffer from the Year 2038 problem? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem [02:35] nsp: ive been trying to hunt down the code for it for a while now everybody says 777 but it doesn't seem to do it ": ( [02:36] Dominik1: ls -l /media/ | pastebinit [02:36] no VGA helper? :( [02:36] nsp: im in /mnt ill pastebin that [02:36] Dominik1: It depends on what filesystem it is. If it is ext3 (like I have), it will work. If it is vfat, it will not work. [02:37] i have an asus 1005HA netbook(no cd drive), im having many problems with ubuntu 9.04, and i think i might want to go back to windows xp, unless someone can help, my connection constantly cuts out, and videos do not play (and all the updates for flash and whatnot are installed) please someone help? [02:37] nsp: http://pastebin.com/m68100089 [02:37] nsp: external is giving me problems all the others are cooperating [02:37] alankila: from my reading `man debfoster`, you need to be using it since the initial installation to benefit from it. I'm not sure if debfoster helps if your system is already full of junk you don't use. [02:38] u-noob-u: no. When you run it, it will traverse the package dependency chains and ask you about every package not required by another package. [02:38] any alias experts here? [02:38] nsp: that is a fat32 mounted, btw [02:38] if you say no, it considers that package lost and reconsiders the packages it depended on until it has complete picture of all you want to keep in the system. [02:38] rightfootmanda, have you configured /etc/network/interfaces [02:38] quantum: yes [02:38] i want to create an alias, and i generally no how, but i need to create one that has a ' in it [02:38] after that it will apt-get --purge remove every package not required by another package. You must know what packages to keep or you will probably lose your system. Don't uninstall bootloader, kernel, or the ubuntu metapackages. [02:39] comment everything out except the loopback [02:39] you can stop the questions at any time by either q or x. q loses your decisions, x applies the decisions so far. [02:39] Dominik1: What you have is fat32 which does not have capabilities to assign file permissions. If you reformat it to ext3 or some filesystem that has capabilities to assign file permissions, it will work. [02:39] nsp so I can't share a fat32 file system with samba? [02:39] What mobile broadband works with Ubuntu? [02:40] once you have made a set of decisions, debfoster -a shows them, and you can manipulate that list by stating something like "debfoster foo-". It will remove the package "foo". You can add a new package to the list by invoking it without hyphen. [02:40] alankila: do you end up with a list of packages that are not needed, or does debfoster go ahead and just delete stuff? I'd be more comfortable passing the list to apt-get myself. [02:41] debfoster goes ahead and not only removes but *purges* the packages. It destroys configuration or any other data the package knows about as well. [02:41] there may be a way to run it such that it outputs just the package list. Don't know, never used it that way. [02:41] Dominik1: Well, you should be able to, but since it is a removable drive, well, not sure how to negoiate the configuration, because it's not always going to be mounted on the same mount piont each time... but well, I don't know, just never tried to use samba to share removable drives, just have no experience with it. [02:42] What mobile broadband works with Ubuntu? [02:42] nsp: can I mount it with ownership nobody.nogroup and mount it with a specific set of permissions? [02:42] is gyachi still in development? [02:43] perhaps you can turn the RemoveCmd into echo [02:44] help! i apt-get removed poppler-utils because its pdfimages is broken, but after i apt-get installed it back, System->Administration->Printing can't connect to CUPS server any more :( what can I do? [02:44] is gyachi still in development? [02:44] !ask | robert___ [02:44] robert___: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:45] Dominik1: Because it is a removable disk, it gets mounted automatically with plugdev and, well, it is set up to be for the local user. I suppose you can create your own mount point for it and mount it manually and that way you could specify how it gets mounted. [02:45] nsp my terminal tells me that sudo unmount : command not found [02:45] http://www.forwardtechnology.co.uk/ ^_^ [02:45] Dominik1: It's umount === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:45] Dominik1: You are spelling it wrong.

[03:14] Does ndiswrapper only take .inf files? [03:14] Barridus: a pox on all of them.... [03:14] detonation: well, you might as well try the array.org kernel.

(<--is nub go soft) [03:17] CyL: i thought you're original question was how to put remix on the card with ubuntu [03:17] zruty: try using TLS [03:17] you need ndisgtk for ndiswrapper to work [03:17] bboru: Bios onption would let me choose wich device to boot, so no need for brub or lilo or whatever [03:17] Shingi: is it a netbook? [03:17] Shingi: if it's not a netbook, you put on the desktop [03:17] mdg: you never need ndisgtk [03:17] mdg, I thought ndisgtk was just a gui frontend [03:17] Shingi: NBR is for screens 10" or smaller [03:18] !md5sum | Shingi [03:18] Shingi: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [03:18] Shingi: and good idea to do that for the ISO [03:18] bboru: the card already have a remix version, but is the "live" version, I wnat to make it the definitive version [03:18] kevdog: never heard that before.... [03:18] nsp: none of those are installed :P I'll do some more searching around. [03:18] CyL, I'd go with grub. I haven't seen a bios intelligent enough to load several os's. [03:18] What's the issue with installing grub? [03:18] Let me see if I can't mount the cdrom and find the .inf file [03:18] mdg: why do you need a gui front end (which is OK), for a command line program? Just use the command line [03:18] Thanks. [03:19] please help I have restarted a number of times and pulled up the boot option and every time it only shows the mac built in drive and not the portable even though the ubuntu bootloader is on there [03:19] CyL: ok. so do you need to know how to format the sd and make it bootable with jaunty on it? [03:19] TH3RDWAR: sudo grep -r eth0 /etc/ [03:19] Shingi: no probs [03:19] kevdog: could you walk poseidon through setup? I want to watch and learn (I have INX which uses CENI but it worked oob) [03:19] TH3RDWAR: or eth1 or eth2 which ever it is.. [03:19] detonation: no issue, it´s just that i don´t need it... my bios wont let me choose various oses, but would allow me to correctly choose the device which I want to boot... if i have only one os per device, no problem in using the mbr to boot the first poartition on each one [03:19] bboru: yes [03:20] CyL, grub has additional uses though. You can easily recover broken linux installations as well [03:20] mdg: OK - Just depends if he has the .inf and driver files [03:20] so I have a mac and I just loaded ubuntu on a portable hard drive but when I pull up the boot options on my mac it never gives me the hard drive as a choice for booting only the built in hard drive any ideas??? [03:20] if some dork (me, as it turns out) scribbled fire all over his screen, how could he get rid of it? [03:20] mdg: Its been awhile for me for ndiswrapper -- what chipset are we talking about here anyway? [03:20] kevdog: he said he has the windows install CD [03:20] i didn't find compiz in any of system::preferences, system::administration, or applications::system tools [03:20] Whats a good DVD burning software for ubuntu. Brasero isn't doing it for me. [03:20] mdg: What is the chipset? [03:21] ericG, run a command called ccsm (compiz setting manager) [03:21] CyL: i've used a few differnt utilities. the HP one works for me. do a google search for 'make bootable usb HP' [03:21] sekyourbox: try k3b [03:21] sekyourbox: k3b [03:21] on the main page there is the settings for plugins, click fire, and see what the "clear fire" button is set too [03:21] 2 votes for k3b [03:21] kevdog: dlink dwa-130 [03:21] then just extract the ubuntu iso onto the iso after [03:21] poseidon: is that correct? [03:21] sekyourbox: three :) [03:21] poseidon: what is the chipset of the device -- not the brand name [03:21] !best | sekyourbox [03:21] sekyourbox: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:21] sekyourbox: k3b [03:21] onto the sd that is... [03:21] detonation: the "broken linux installation" will be on a sd card... it is much easir just to get the sd card out of the reader, um recover it from a running installation [03:21] posdeidon: This would be found by listing lspci -nnm [03:22] very true cyl, I ran Ubuntu like that for a while on my netbook before upgrading the harddrive [03:22] nsp: looks like it was pointing to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf:# interface "eth0"; I removed dhcp3-client. Hope that does it [03:22] 12.7MB oh my god! [03:22] kevdog: what's -nnm? [03:22] one for windows would be like 312.7mb [03:22] bboru: i´ve done it (except that I have extracted the img not the iso) [03:23] nsp: I appreciate it [03:23] mdg: man lspci [03:23] TH3RDWAR: One thing that I think is convenient is to just leave it set to dhcp and configure the router to give that MAC address the IP of your choosing. [03:23] CyL: did you wipe it first? [03:23] bboru: yes [03:23] What is the purpose of the eyes at the corner of the screen? for fun? [03:23] CyL: so will it just not boot or... [03:24] TH3RDWAR: And as I said before, look at the entry in the config file and make sure it's not still saying auto [03:24] sekyourbox: so the little guy inside your pc who does all the work can see what he's doing... [03:24] TH3RDWAR: in /etc/network/interfaces [03:24] sekyourbox: they´re watching so you don´t move your pointer out of the screen ;) [03:24] kevdog: -n is vendor - m is PCI data, whats the second n? [03:24] nsp: yea that would work. I'm just runninga little ubuntu server vm so I'm trying to keep it static on the box. I'll double check interfaces. [03:25] so I have a mac and I just loaded ubuntu on a portable hard drive but when I pull up the boot options on my mac it never gives me the hard drive as a choice for booting only the built in hard drive any ideas??? [03:25] I let him chill there, I usually dont like things like that [03:25] ericG: if you have not changed the defaults then winkey+shift+c [03:25] bboru: it booted perfectly, but when I choose the manual partition, it won´t let me choose the sd card ad the target "disk", only my hard disk [03:26] kevdog, don't see anything pertaining to d-link when I do lspci -nnm [03:26] justin__: intel mac or PPC? [03:26] do I have to manually convert an avi, to get it to dvd? [03:26] intel mac [03:26] poseidon: Is this a pci or usb device? [03:26] does anyone know how to convert a publisher file in linux? [03:26] justin__: you using a firewire drive right? [03:26] usb [03:26] lsusb just says d-link dwa-130 [03:26] OOo will not read it [03:27] no usb drive [03:27] howdsy [03:27] NoMS_: No [03:27] I mounted the cdrom, and there is a setup.inf in the root directory [03:27] poseidon: Ok, maybe usb will be the answer [03:27] NoMS_: not much you can do with it. [03:27] ok, well I guess I can convert in win, then move over to linux... thanks nsp [03:27] does a usb portable drive make a difference from a firewire drive [03:27] CyL: i see. i had a similar problem recently. i eventually ended up making a small VM using the sd as the physical hard disk. i know it sound like a pain but it worked. === mike is now known as Guest26027 [03:28] not often i put os's on sds [03:28] sekyourbox: no [03:28] NoMS_: I think you will need to tell the author to use a diferent format. [03:28] Is there a livecd out there that will automatically add kernel entries to grub? I've fooled around with super grub disk, and I'm having trouble adding 2 distros to grub. Unless I'm doing it wrong. [03:28] where can i get a winxp iso [03:28] kevdog, lsusb doesn't give the chipset, just name and brand [03:28] NoMS_: I think it can be output to html [03:28] justin__: I'm not sure... [03:28] SerialKiller: you can buy a winxp cd at the store [03:28] i have the cd [03:28] i need an iso for a netbook [03:29] SerialKiller: well there you go then [03:29] poseidon: Ok let just use ndiswrapper then -- what do you have for the files the .sys and .inf? [03:29] SerialKiller: ah. rip it from the cd [03:29] ?? [03:29] how [03:29] ive been trying all nite [03:29] I already had another portable drive with ubuntu loaded and it didnt find that one either..... [03:29] I'm working with a quad-core opteron dell server and trying to install the amd64 8.04LTS server edition, but it fails with 'cannot mount cdrom' ...i've tried dropping to a shell and attempting to mount /dev/scd0 manually and it tells me 'invalid argument' [03:29] SerialKiller, ask in ##windows yet ? [03:29] hi.hjow can i query lmutil lmhostid? [03:29] no] [03:29] SerialKiller: youre using ubuntu just now, right? you should be able to right click the cd and tell it to copy to image [03:29] bboru: so you´ve installed something like vmware, chose the sd card as the hard disk of the virtual machine, and installed unr on the virtual machine? [03:29] i've also used a variety of kernel arguments to no avail [03:29] dont have that option [03:30] do i need an install to do that [03:30] SerialKiller, do you have ubuntu installed? [03:30] anybody know what might be causing that or have a recommendation for what i should look for? [03:30] bazhang: do you know where the copy cd to iso option that was in nautilus cd burner has moved to? [03:30] i try to download lmutil software from support.aldec.com but still cant get the command returning me [03:30] yes [03:30] on it now [03:30] SerialKiller: possibly in brasero then [03:30] poseidon: you want the windows XP files - .inf and .sys [03:30] maco, not sure, always use k9opy [03:30] sekyourbox: yes. various programs will convert avi to dvd, nearly all of them are a hassle on linux. Check out DeVeDe... [03:30] err k9copy [03:30] yes, although i believe it was a flash drive (viewed the same by the system in my experience). it was a shot in the dark but vmware allowed it. [03:30] SerialKiller: try what bazhang just said? [03:31] anyone there? [03:31] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an old IBM T42 Thinkpad things seem to be working OK, but I notice little performance sluggishness with the GUI..some times windows render slowly or menus take another 2-3 seconds to fade away. Is this a gfx drivers issue? I have an ATI Mobility7500 is there some set of drivers that I need to install? [03:31] kevdog, well in /mnt/cd there is an autorun.inf, then in /mnt/cd/setup/Drivers/Drivers/Windows XP/ there is an .sys and .inf file [03:31] I have mencoder, already converted to avi [03:31] justin__: what's installed on your mac right now? Does it see the usb drive? [03:31] now i want it on a dvd, but i guess ill see whats in the repository [03:31] maco: try in ##windows?? [03:32] SerialKiller: no the k9copy thing [03:32] So would I use ndiswrapper -i file.inf file.sys? [03:32] maco: oh i can get that in the add/remove right < [03:32] SerialKiller: i think so [03:32] maco: thnx [03:32] bboru: i´ll give it atry, although I think this option should be incorporated by default on the unr, qich seems to bee a pretty common use for netbook owners, as I´m seeing... [03:32] CyL: the drivers that vmware (hyper-v etc) use are allowed to be put into physical systems. you may have a few driver updates but it will def boot. [03:32] CyL: agreed. [03:33] just standard OS 10, it does see all the drives. The drive I am trying to boot from is half a mac drive and the other half is ubuntu linux [03:34] maco: when i right click the cd it just opens it [03:34] anyone knows how to get the lmutil lmhostid in their terminal? [03:34] justin__: so the ubuntu half is bootable otherwise? [03:34] yes correct [03:34] Is kubuntu similar enough to ubuntu that it would be worth asking in this channel as well? (Way more users here). I'm new to Linux overall so and as far as I can tell the only difference is that kubuntu uses mainly Qt packages while ubuntu uses GTK. [03:34] justin__: is ubuntu first boot option? === Kernel is now known as Wicked [03:35] justin__: doh - no it wouldn't be... [03:35] justin__: sorry [03:35] Riobe: they are similar, but try kubuntu first then try here if no one there knows [03:35] Hello [03:35] poseidon: any luck? [03:35] almost [03:35] linux: I did try kubuntu first, so perhaps someone in here might know how to help me get audio working with the flash player? [03:36] !ask | kieron [03:36] kieron: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:36] hey is anyone here familiar with ndiswrapper ? [03:36] had a 350GB mac partition and then seperated a small portion for ubuntu [03:36] Riobe: are you using the latest version from adobe? [03:36] kevdog: you up for another ndiswrapper ? from kangu ? [03:36] linux: I used apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [03:36] =D thx mdg [03:36] linux: I think that's the latest, but I'm not sure. [03:37] Riobe: try to go to adobe.com and download their latest version, see if that works [03:37] ! pastebin [03:37] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[03:38] SerialKiller: ask bazhang. he uses it not me :P [03:38] lol ok thnx [03:38] Please forgive if this has been already asked a ga-zillion times, but any recent news regarding Ubuntu Netbook Remix support for the Dell Mini10? It has the new Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 500, which might not yet have reliable linux driver support, yet it ships with a Dell-tweaked version of Ubuntu 8.04.. [03:38] mdg working now [03:38] bazhang; can you help me with k9copy?? [03:38] thaks [03:38] poseidon: yay \o/ [03:39] SerialKiller, what is the issue [03:39] poseidon: it was all kevdog ! Thanks kevdog ! [03:39] bazhang: he wants to rip a cd to iso [03:39] bazhang: i need to get the iso from the disk so i can burn it to a thumb drive [03:39] well anyways someone might know what is wrong... so i installed ndiswrapper and it works great.. just randomly it disconnects and i cannot reconnect unless i reboot my pc several times to make it come online again someone told me last time when it disconnects to run: dmesg | tail so i have and this is the output it gave http://paste.ubuntu.com/260665/me [03:39] Hello everyone - has anyone setup jabberd2 on ubuntu that could possibly offer me some assistance? I installed it according to their installation docs but have no success. [03:40] kangu: what kind of wifi and computer? [03:40] wifi is linksys usb adapter [03:40] and computer?? [03:41] devede, you are the man.. [03:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K9Copy SerialKiller please read this first [03:41] linksys Dual-band Wireless-N usb network adapter. [03:41] ok [03:41] so I have a mac and I just loaded ubuntu on a portable hard drive but when I pull up the boot options on my mac it never gives me the hard drive as a choice for booting only the built in hard drive any ideas??? [03:41] kangu: is that info via lsusb? [03:41] oh i can check my apologiez [03:42] Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1737:0071 Linksys [03:42] justin__: the Mac EFI cannot recognize and boot from external USB drives [03:42] can i run xournal in cygwin and use stylus? [03:42] to annotate pdf [03:42] justin__: I think you need a firewire drive [03:42] Hay guys === jared is now known as hazzy [03:42] Bigshot_: What? [03:43] Xournal software [03:43] dang so there is no way around it then? [03:43] will only work with firewire otherwise I'm stuck [03:43] Justin - I'm sooo not a Mac guy, but met someone last weekend who installed Ubuntu as a virtual machine via vmware... Looked pretty good.. [03:43] kangu: you have a windows install cd for that? [03:44] yeah but i downloaded the driver via site =/ [03:44] justin__: Yes - but even that I'm not sure of. I think the EFI has trouble recognizing ext2 and ext3 partitions. [03:44] and it worked [03:44] justin__: you can use rEFIt I think. [03:44] is that an application for mac? [03:44] Hi Guys!!! i once had the ability to opacify a clicked window by pressing alt+mousewheel-up/down, i did not use compiz for a long time.. now this gadget seems to be disabled, why is that? how can i reactivate it? i dont find it in CompizConfig Manager.. [03:45] kangu: native linux driver or a windows driver? [03:45] what if I reinstalled ubuntu and made it and ext1 or something else in the install options? [03:45] justin - yep... You can get vmware for the mac... I'm not a vmware guy either, but thought that might point you in a helpful direction.. [03:45] windows driver [03:45] justin__: vbox [03:45] yea, one version of vmware [03:45] kangu: are you a GUI guy or is this all CLI box? [03:46] I heard that ATI is not good for ubuntu, is that true? [03:46] IRSSI all day [03:46] I have windows for work, but im in cmd all day.. power shell is unsupported [03:46] mdg: i do apologize in advance.. i am a new user to ubuntu and i have no idea what that means =) [03:46] have to write my own vb, but wmic usually takes care of what i need [03:47] kangu: okay, I assume you are using the Gnome desktop [03:47] Graphics are no good for linux in general [03:47] ^__^ [03:47] buenas! [03:47] kangu: you need to install ndiswrapper and ndisgtk first [03:47] What is a good linux alternative to TeamViewer? (Remote control of keyboard/mouse, sending files, easy for other person to "let me take over") [03:47] is ATI graphics good for unbuntu? [03:47] alanpan: no :f [03:47] kd os brasileiros aqui??? [03:48] furfles: english maybe? [03:48] alanpan, nvidia has the best graphics support in my opinion [03:48] mdg: i had a buddy of mine who knows more about linux then i do.. i have already installed all those applications and i made ndiswrapper work... but my problem is staying connected. [03:48] thats what i heard too [03:48] but i have ATI, that's good bad for me. [03:48] kangu: what network manager you using? [03:49] alanpan, they should still work for most things i would think [03:49] alanpan: they even work sometimes [03:49] how would i find that out?? defualt that is installed with ubuntu [03:49] I cant get this damn webcam to work.. It says its supported in ubuntu [03:49] kangu: default gnome, WICD or something else [03:49] is there a run command to find out for sure? because i have no idea really.. i downloaded wubi [03:49] so w/e comes with wubi [03:50] kangu: Wubi :( [03:50] kangu: ooo wubi - I have no experience with wubi [03:50] kangu: partitioned install is better [03:50] yep it works for most thing, but it does not really work for atlantis fish effects.

[03:50] i did get ndiswrapper to work regardless [03:50] but for some strange reason it just randomly disconnects [03:51] and i have to restart for it to work.. [03:51] so i dont understand which installation of linux i have it obviously worked on wubi =D [03:51] kangu: at the command line you can scan with "sudo iwlist scan" and see what connections are available and their strength [03:51] kangu: could be you have interference from other electronics or something [03:52] what does command 'iwlist' for? [03:52] windows never gave me this problem i must add... [03:52] so it couldnt be electronics. [03:52] kangu: ndiswrapper is a bit hmm with Linux, as a result better really to use a native Linux driver if there is one [03:52] how can I (can I) upgrade (or switch) Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS to Ubuntu 8.10, from command line?

I then tried to copy it over using the file browser, and it won't let me. How can I get around this? [04:05] alanpan: the ssh server software for windows does not have a GUI installer, but can let you forward GUI on the screen with Xming software installed [04:05] do you know what is the difference between winscp and ssh? [04:05] alanpan: yes, winscp: ftp transfers, ssh: ftp transfers + more [04:06] so ah ssh has more functions than winscp right. [04:06] Is there something in X-windows like "screen" for the console? [04:06] !ssh | alanpan [04:06] alanpan: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

[04:10] alanpan: what you heard is it might go a little bit slower because of CPU usage on both sides and encryption (so no one can see the data transfered) [04:10] hi RabidNelson [04:10] alanpan: its not a noticable difference in speed really [04:10] <^Phantom^> mdg_, I will try, hang on a moment please.

So, for example, I run an instance of Firefox and I can do something (a key combination?) to hide it running in the background, then when I get to work I can ssh in and "reattach" to my firefox session (or X session in general, if possible) [04:10] alanpan, yes [04:10] alanpan: you dont need putty on ubuntu [04:11] alanpan: not by default, but you can install it, it uses ssh as client and sshd as ssh server [04:11] ture, we can just use ssh right [04:11] <^Phantom^> mdg, no it can't. [04:11] alanpan: you need a normal terminal/shell [04:11] hi, which msn messenger app on linux supports voice chating? [04:11] what you mean by normal terminal/shell.

[04:15] mdg: Well, I'm using ssh -X and everything works nicely. Of course, there is no way to "reattach" an already running Xwindows app, I presume.

[04:49] nano that shiz [04:49] even vi giving me unreadable words [04:50] alanpan: ah sorry its binary....

[05:04] it works up to the 16gig version but nothing else [05:04] myself: /usr/share/menu [05:04] linux, is there a VNC enabled app that makes it easy for someone to "let me take over" and fix something? (something like teamviewer for windows) [05:04] duderz: sorry, dunno anything else about them... [05:04] alanpan: try "man coreutils", does that give anything? (use man for details of any program listed) [05:05] Resistol: TightVNC [05:05] Err [05:05] lol [05:05] Resistol: they still have to give you their external IP address through a whatismyip.com [05:05] i tried with virtualbox but can get my WD passport to show up [05:05] Resistol, or you could have them download yuguu [05:05] very weird [05:05] cant* [05:05] legend2440 there are some files there but they just appear to be straight up scripts or links instead of the folders that contain shotcusts instead [05:05] hey all whats up anyone know of a good Linux equivalent to FrontPage [05:06] alanpan, you most certainly already have it installed dpkg -L coreutils [05:06] Resistol: GoToMyPC is a corporation that makes it easy, its not free, but i believe they make a client for linux [05:06] linux, nope don't think they do [05:06] Resistol, check out yuguu [05:06] how do i check which DE i am using? as in which version i'm on? i know i'm on kde but i don't know which [05:06] linux, will firewalls get in the way of TightVNC? some clients can't handle that stuff... errrr... most clients can't handle that stuff [05:06] dustan: mozilla has software out for a similar one to frontpage, check out mozilla.org for their projects page [05:06] yuguu? lookin it up now :-) [05:06] Resistol, not the best technology but easy for the other user, don't have to worry about firewalls etc..

[06:36] GSF1200S: that's karmic (the in-development version); they may be working on squeezing it down to CD image size [06:37] cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep "module" produces nothing [06:37] albech, the array is gone [06:37] albech, I only have one of the drives now [06:37] albech, so I need to mount it somehow and get the data off of it [06:37] lateralus01: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/260713/ try adding that and restart X [06:37] so all I can do is install jaunty, which doesnt support wireless or ethernet on my netbook.. thats really a bummer [06:38] If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling your video drivers. I'm unsure what to tell you from there :/ [06:38] luckyone: 2 sec.. logging in on a raid1 machine [06:38] luckyone: and what does fdisk -l say? [06:39] GSF1200S: or put it on a USB drive? [06:39] with startx? [06:39] GSF1200S: or burn a dvd instead... [06:39] I need an img file- I cant use ISO [06:39] lateralus01: You can try Ctrl+Alt+Backspace..but taht's disabled by default in 9.04. If that doesn't work, just log out and log back in [06:40] ok i'll do that [06:40] this is confusing.. ive always had no issues installing via ISO [06:40] can I burn a dvd without a 4.7GB image? [06:41] albech, http://www.pastie.org/597425 [06:41] Question about the Netbook Remix [06:41] very nice [06:41] hi, anyone know whats the key in bybou (screen-profiles) to get the menu (f9) when the f's are disabled? [06:42] Kelaos- ask.. im trying to get it installed [06:42] Yeah, same, I've got the HP Mini 110 [06:42] But I don't have a disc drive.... [06:42] And my BIOS doesn't let me boot from a USB >.> [06:42] didn't work [06:42] it HAS to let you boot from USB.. are you kidding? [06:43] still had to go to effects and set to normal to fix screen [06:43] lateralus01: Alright; I guess try reinstalling your drivers (through the restricted driver manager if you used that, or manually otherwise). I'm not sure what else I can do to help. [06:43] I'm going to try again but it only has one option in the boot order, and it's the HDD [06:43] lateralus01: I find `metacity --replace` easier than going into that visual effects dialog though, if needed. [06:43] luckyone: and you want to retrieve the data that was on /dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3?? [06:43] alright [06:44] It's late here though, have to get going. Hopefully that works out for you. Good luck [06:44] where is the default window manager saved tho? [06:44] in an X config file? [06:44] albech, I think the data on /dev/sda3 was formatted [06:44] cause maybe i can edit it [06:44] GSF1200S: I think you can simply use the "USB Startup Disk Creator" to put that oversized iso on a usb disk [06:44] kelaos- id let you borrow mine, but thats not possible. THat sucks man [06:44] luckyone: did you try just to mount /dev/sdb3 and see if the data is there? [06:44] albech, mounting it failed [06:44] Yeah I know, I'm trying to figure out how to work it otherwise... [06:45] lateralus01: Honestly I'm unsure. metacity is configurable in compiz if you install compizconfig-settings-manager. I don't recall where compiz is loaded by default htough [06:45] my main box is Arch, so id have to use the windows currently on the netbook [06:45] nerds [06:45] kk [06:45] thinking Wubi and putting the ISO on the flash maybe? [06:45] luckyone: failed?? with what error? [06:45] i've got compiz config settings manager [06:45] is there a way to close out rhythmbox and still have it playing with a icon on the tray?

[06:45] It's popping up now that I have the flashdrive inserted it seems [06:46] albech, refrest pastie.org [06:46] albech, refresh* [06:46] luckyone: did you run lvm on that raid? [06:46] lateralus01: Worst case (for a temp fix), System - Preferences - Startup Applications, add `metacity --replace` [06:46] albech, not to my knowledge [06:46] Until you can resolve the issue. Just note that you'll ahve to remove it when you want to try to fix it [06:47] is there any way that i can listen to something from ubuntu and play somethign on amarok at the same time? [06:47] yea thought about that but it's kinda sloppy [06:47] Yeah [06:47] luckyone: and you are sure its ext3? [06:47] albech, yes [06:47] I'm sure others have had your issue. Googling for "Ubuntu" followed by anything usually gives me what I need [06:48] luckyone: hmm and can you mount /dev/sdb4 ? [06:48] luckyone: or will that give you same error? [06:49] albech, says it is already mounted or is busy [06:49] or the mount point is busy [06:49] luckyone: im pretty sure there must have been some lvm on it [06:49] I don't think so [06:49] I just used mdadm to create the array [06:50] wait [06:50] where are the blacklisted drivers stored in compiz? [06:50] try lvdisplay [06:50] i forgot mine was blacklisted and i removed it when i was tryin to get compiz to work [06:50] I don't have lvdisplay [06:50] luckyone: ok, good ;) [06:51] howcan i check a hash sum? [06:51] lateralus01: In compiz I'm unsure. Are you sure it wasn't in one of the blacklist files in /etc/modprobe.d/? [06:52] no it wasn't [06:52] hi [06:52] luckyone: checking something rq..

[07:40] Flannel, or are you haveing too much fun flexing? [07:40] innomen: you were warned and told to stop it. in many networks you would have been kicked without warning. If you wish to discuss this matter further, you're welcome to do so in #ubuntu-ops.

[07:41] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [07:42] Flannel, if i knew it's name i'd have googled :) [07:42] indus: What is /dev/sda5 mounted to? === b14ck_ is now known as b14ck [07:42] innociv: if netstat hangs, it's trying to use DNS, I think .... try -lptn instead.

There are the magic Alt+SysRQ combinations, but those might not be what you're looking for [07:42] innomen: Well, recovery console doesn't require a hotkey, but I'm not really sure what you're talking about if it is a "hotkey" [07:42] brummbaer, testing, one moment [07:42] MTeck: what ado u mean mounted to? its my root partition ,internal HDD [07:42] K got it.

[07:43] MTeck: ok i think its cos i didnt shutdown properly,but i dont know why it keeps failing [07:43] ^Phantom^: #ubuntu-offtopic [07:43] innomen: As someone already mentioned the alt-sysrq stuff, but that won't get you to a console [07:43] indus: from the live cd you can do fsck on that partition [07:43] <^Phantom^> lstarnes, thankies :D [07:43] brummbaer, ok that gave me a prompt [07:43] Flannel, define "console" please [07:43] MTeck: any flags for fsck, or just type fsck [07:43] innomen: i presume that's what you were looking for? [07:43] in toddler so i can understand :P) [07:43] innomen: it's like a command line window [07:44] brummbaer, much closer, yes now there is a blue back ground grey text menu that i can arrow through === janne is now known as Skiessi [07:44] brummbaer, it looks like a bios window but thats not what it is obnviously [07:44] innomen: you can read all about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [07:44] indus: What I normally run is fsck -pyfv /dev/sda5 [07:44] sysrq!

[07:45] indus: fsck --help [07:45] Flannel, wrong, i got your attention first and then my problem got solved :) [07:45] innomen: Please try and be more considerate in the future. We're all volunteers here. [07:45] innomen: That's thew rong way to do things. If you take that route, you'll be removed.

[07:46] Flannel, oh i couldent care less, i also have a huge anarchist streak and absolutly no problem with being "punished ]ik [07:46] innomen: if you're going to rant further - you should bring it to #ubuntu-ops [07:46] I wanted to install virtualbox - listed first is the deb, that doesn't install (missing dependencies) and wifi (wiki) doesn't have apt-get -i written next to it, and below the deb downloads they have sources listed (below) - how can I remove an unconfigured deb from my system? [07:46] or can I add the source and apt-get install it and it will configure? [07:47] Flannel, that was uncalled for [07:47] fejkjfoeijf: you don't know half of it [07:47] stop bickering, i need help [07:47] lol [07:48] MTeck, im done, was just answering the question ^.^ [07:48] !ask | ejv_ [07:48] ejv_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[07:49] indus: move along. [07:49] That is true, and I don't want to know, but from 'not being kicked' to 'being kicked' was nothing much, and he even said thank you, seemed like a grudge. So on the matter of dpkg -i going awry, and then wanting to use apt-get to install the package... [07:49] fejkjfoeijf: You tried to install the .deb with dpkd -i vbox.deb ? [07:49] so I need to remove it first? [07:49] aaha, thanks histo [07:49] MTeck, yes I did [07:49] Myrtti: iam not involved in this one,but that statement was unneeded and threatening indeed [07:49] nvm [07:49] how do I get RV635 hdmi to output sound in Jaunty?

The solution was disable sound in the BIOS and create /etc/asound.conf with these contents: http://pastebin.ca/1545522 [07:56] disabling sound is probably not needed....

[08:06] TheStone: It'll be easier to just go back through synaptic's third party GUI and remove it [08:06] oh [08:06] Flannel: ok [08:06] hi [08:10] Flannel : thank you and i'm sorry but i would like to ask a final question when i ever want to update the synaptic list i get this error at the final file http://pastebin.ca/1545531 [08:11] hey guys is there an easy way to restore wubi ubuntus entry to win 7 boot manager?

[08:12] innociv: that line shows the 'grep aped' process you just created. [08:12] Oh [08:12] innociv: seriously, if you need ports -- sudo netstat -lptn [08:13] So there is no aped running. [08:13] grawity, ya did that already adn didn't see aped on that port liek i need [08:13] ...because there is no aped. [08:13] TheStone: That's odd. Are you using a proxy of some sort?

Try running these commands in a terminal, see if either works without error: sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True and sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true [08:18] It was working fine, just can't find it [08:18] nobody for an upgrade to firefox 3.5?

[08:21] ActiVision, add the notification area applet [08:22] Oh yeah there it was [08:22] Unholy: There is, yes. I just don't know how.

Close synaptic first, then try them again. [08:23] zvacet: but i didn't. [08:23] ok [08:23] zvacet: am i outa luck? [08:24] oh you can move it [08:24] sweet [08:24] does anybody else get so frustrated sometimes that they think maybe linux isnt worth it? Ive been using it for 3 years and im about fucking done with it [08:24] !separatehome | Simkin, zvacet: this might be a better link: [08:24] Simkin, zvacet: this might be a better link:: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [08:24] GSF1200S: not at all. [08:24] hmm.. more a man than me i guess [08:24] GSF1200S: it gets better by the week! [08:24] GSF1200S: hvae you ever used gentoo? [08:24] which file inside /dev represents keyboard device [08:25] ? [08:25] only thing I cant stand in ubuntu is I cant acess my phones sd card [08:25] the rest is great [08:25] DJNoMaD: Why can't you? [08:25] bluetooth wont connect to a mouse with the right passkey.. XP works first try. Latest kernel needed for network cards down due to server, linux driver file corrupted on atheros website, cant use netbook [08:25] Flannel: both worked fine [08:26] Flannel: Reading package lists... Done [08:26] I guess if I bought a decent card reader it would fix that but I got the usb cable and the bluetooth dongle and I am determined to not spend any money lol [08:26] any one knows, which file inside /dev represents keyboard device ? [08:26] yeah, gentoo was a PITA and I stopped using it. Went back to arch [08:26] grawity, I just havent figured it out I guess [08:26] its easy, just time consuming and not worth it to me [08:27] im about to restore my netbook to XP because Ubuntu simply will not work. Sad... [08:27] bluetotth will mount the phone but times out on me [08:28] **when trying to acess the card [08:28] I can get in the phones internal memory tho [08:28] DJNoMaD: Anything in dmesg? [08:29] TheStone: Alright. You may be behind some sort of proxy (your ISP may do some sort of caching) and you were getting stale files (sometimes this occurs normally if they're updating the repositories, without any ISP action required). If it happens in the future (and doesn't fix itself after a few minutes) try using one of those commands [08:29] GSF1200S: just a bad run of luck i spose [08:29] grawity, I am not that advanced ,when should I check that ? [08:29] I need help installing CNC3 Tiberium Wars in Ubuntu 9.04. I'm using Play On Linux [08:29] I can't get the networking to work at all [08:29] I have 6 computers [08:29] GSF1200S: i have to work with both. beleive me. windows has far more problems than linux and they are far tougher to work around. [08:29] Flannel: OK, and thank you for the help [08:29] The internet does not work either. [08:29] DJNoMaD: Plug in the USB cable, wait a few seconds, then type 'dmesg' in the Terminal. [08:29] TheStone: No problem [08:30] Can somebody tell me how to put entry in /etc/hosts so that i can connect two pc,s. [08:30] then something really strange happens. When I try to go into network mode (LAN) it shows my user name twice (Like I'm logged in on a second computer) [08:30] It use to work just fine in Ubuntu 8.04 and now even that won't work. [08:31] hey guys. i'm trying to install xp onto a flash drive for use with my eeepc. i have a dd'd iso copy of the disk that I use for my vm's, MSDN key (legal all-round), but I'm having trouble getting over that hurdle === ^GP-knight^ is now known as GP-knight [08:31] I hate it when they fix things that aren't broken. [08:31] #kay-ja [08:31] AnonYmous2: I doubt XP can boot from removable drives. [08:31] I use to find stuff on the net that talked about this problem but now nothing. [08:31] I've heard roumers XP can boot from a USB drive but never seen it work. === j is now known as Guest98158 === m4v_ is now known as m4v [08:32] If I wanted to temporarily disable a service like nfs-kernel-server so that it doesn't load at startup (but I don't want to remove the package) what file should I edit? Should I remove the symlink in /etc/rcS.d ? [08:32] usacomputertec: XP might boot from it -- but if you ever plug in something else while it's running, then it'll crash in seconds. [08:32] hai all, I have a problem on remote desktop, Ive install tightvncserver on my Ubuntu server. And everything goes well using vncviewer, until I've write on terminal in remote server, the keyboard input is different, how to adjust it? [08:32] usacomputertec: there are guides for doing it using an existin xp system, but I don't have an XP system in a very long time [08:32] AnonYmous2: rcS.d is for single-user mode, you probably need rc6.d or something like that... I don't remember which is the default runlevel. [08:33] grawity: was that for me? [08:33] grawity, here is a little of the last in dmesg [08:33] http://pastebin.com/de596afc [08:33] alkisg: ...yeah [08:33] thanks [08:33] #ubuntu-laptop [08:33] doh [08:33] AnonYmous2: Igore that message :/ [08:33] k [08:34] k [08:34] moin [08:34] is the then a way of formatting a usb flash to iso9660? [08:34] hi [08:34] AnonYmous2: If there was, it wouldn't make any sense. And it still would be a USB flash, no matter what. [08:35] i remeber i managed to boot xp of a usb drive but it was with some sort of program witch i forgot, all it did was remove a shit load of stuff form xp , all in all it dint work well was not meant for evry day use [08:35] After updating the kernel (through update manager) on Jaunty I have an issue with my wireless card going completely dead after a suspend. After a reboot lspci doesn't pick it up, I have to boot to windows and use the hotkeys to reenable it before linux sees it again. Using ath9k on Jaunty NBR and eee-acpi-utilities. All was well before I updated the kernel. [08:35] Any ideas? [08:36] b3rz3rk3r: hi! You here? [08:39] I have a old computer that I put a 160 gb hdd in and the bios will not work on that big of hdd "grub error 15" I believe it was,is there a way around that? [08:39] detonation: It may have been dissabled before the last boot and just reverts to dissable now. That is a remote possiblity. but... [08:39] detonation: If you still have the old kernel, just boot to it and use it until the problem gets fixed later on. [08:39] NSP, I can reboot linux when it's working, and it works on the next boot of linux. I've been googling it and it seems i'm getting some hits on google with some new terms I tried [08:41] Not much luck, everything I see is the old error I had before installing the backports package. [08:41] I should have just not upgraded the kernel *sigh* [08:41] detonation: Well, that's it then. It just goes to the state it was after shut down. Just get everything like you want it on a boot up and then from then on use the power button to turn off. [08:41] That negates the use of suspend, though. [08:41] detonation: If you use the power button to initiate the shutdown mode, no settings are saved. [08:42] It's a laptop, it needs to be able to be suspended instead of shutdown and rebooted every few minutes [08:42] detonation: Ok then, if it works ok with the old kernel just revert back to it. [08:43] Tried it, the same issue persists [08:43] anyone know where to get the linux for ipod or something like that,my pod is acting stupid and freezing and I wanna re do it and do it with llinux [08:43] detonation: With the old kernel? [08:43] Something must have changed with acpi settings, as the wireless card is actually losing power completely. After a suspend I can reboot the computer, and lspci and dmesg show no wireless card. [08:44] Yes, if I use grub to boot an older kernel on the list the issue persists [08:44] DJNoMaD: http://www.iphone-hacks.com/2008/11/28/openiboot-?-linux-on-the-iphone/ [08:44] DJNoMaD: depending on your model you can try: http://www.rockbox.org/ [08:45] I got a real old 20 gig ,made by hp [08:46] detonation> But you just said "After updating the kernel (through update manager) on Jaunty I have an issue with my wireless card going completely dead after a suspend" [08:47] detonation: If it is not the kernel, what other update could it have been? [08:47] Yes? And subsequent reboots unless I boot into windows, and use device manager to re-enable the card (or use the hotkeys to do it). A reboot in linux does nothing to reenable it. [08:47] Booting an older kernel with newer modules / configuration files always has problems.. [08:48] To be sure it wasn't eeepc-acpi-utilities i apt-get remove it, delete all configuration files, restarted, then reinstalled it, and rebooted. same outcome. [08:50] someone firm with subversion? [08:50] !anyone | DaDa|Urka [08:50] DaDa|Urka: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:50] I've literally spent hours on google trying to find anything, but every problem I find is people not using the backports package where a simple unload/reload of the ath9k module fixes the problem. Mine is a bit more indepth as linux doesn't even recognize there is a card there and neither does windows unless i use the hotkeys to reenable it [08:50] detonation: detonation ls -ltr /var/lib/dpkg/info [08:50] whats that command line program that can tell me information about my avaliable resolutions? [08:51] Big list nsp, anything you want me to grep? [08:51] detonation: Rebooting an older kernel does not always cause problems. [08:51] hi there..

[09:16] Hello! [09:16] indeed. [09:17] I've got a dual monitor set up. One 22" and one 15". But when I try to enable that I can't set the resolution of the 22" to maximum. Its maximum has become the maximum of the 15" monitor. How do I solve this? [09:17] I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and when I click and move a window the CPU usage in system monitor goes to 100%, MP3s stop playing and hiccup. I have run glxgears from command line in terminal window and it runs. I cannot enable any visual Effects which I could with 8.x how do I know that accelerated graphics is working, and also how do I know it is not software run and that the actual hardware is doing the graphics? [09:18] Vinceman: huh? I've got it in Jaunty just fine... installed from medibuntu [09:18] Ascavasaion are you sure you've got the drivers installed correctly? (video drivers) [09:19] u still around nsp ? [09:19] ух [09:19] falco_, I have no idea. [09:19] Myrtty, you can call people with image right on skype? [09:19] new to Ubuntu? [09:19] falco_, Yes, fairly, and Ubuntu 8.x ran just fine. [09:19] Myrtti * [09:20] what graphics card do you have Ascavasaion? [09:20] Vinceman: with image? what do you mean? [09:20] Myrtti, I think he means video [09:20] call somebody where you can see the image of the person you're calling to [09:20] panv: There may be a jumper on the HD that needs to be changed. [09:20] Vinceman: yes? [09:20] anyone here uses xfce? there's nobody at the xubuntu channel [09:20] Ascavasaion gotta log out for a moment [09:21] how do i install firefox 3.5 in ibex? [09:21] no... it's a closed transcend.. and has been working on debian forever.. it's a closed box.. no jumpers nothing nsp... [09:21] xsebsx_, I have used it in the past but by far am I as smart as some of the others here,maybe something basic i can handle [09:21] I'm on 9.10 and third level switcher for my keyboard have stopped working for gnome apps. It 'sorta' works in gnome-terminal though.. [09:21] give me a correct "mount" command including user, and rw.. and i 'll paste the output...

[09:23] will have to solve it later... [09:23] xsebsx_, I am not sure on whats going on ,you might mess with the double click speed of the mouse ...dunno tho lol [09:23] panv: umount /dev/sdb1 [09:23] panv: mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cdrom [09:24] DJNoMaD, thanks you fixed it [09:24] xsebsx_, are you serious ?

[09:25] panv: udev will honor fstab entries so just create your own mount point like /mnt/HD and make an entry for it. [09:25] or just delete one [09:25] DJNoMaD, now, the other problem i have is this: one of the two home folders i have says [09:26] [Desktop Entry] [09:26] Encoding=UTF-8 [09:26] Name=Home [09:26] GenericName=Personal Files [09:26] URL[$e]=$HOME [09:26] xsebsx_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[10:01] and how many shared hosting can we get on 1 VPS? [10:02] chouchou_: what you think? [10:02] chouchou_: depending on the hardware maybe? [10:02] doing research [10:02] ok [10:04] ok [10:04] chouchou_: i was always using one vps for each cpu-core [10:04] how do we kill tcp connection in linux [10:04] iceroot, so lighttpd is listening to everything on port 80? [10:04] no matter what ip? [10:04] The nis interferring with this other [10:05] Hi, an sudo apt-get upgrade fails because of evince. (Also evince seems not to be recognized as default pdf opener in firefox) [10:05] How do I fix that? [10:05] innociv: yes, by default [10:05] hm.. I have looked on google and can't figure out how to change this :( I have lighttpd only bound to the two ip's [10:05] innociv: you have to give the web-server only one ip (see the config). i only know apache, so cant help [10:05] ya.. lighttpd irc has been dead === root is now known as Guest10367 [10:06] how do we kill tcp connection in linux? [10:06] innociv: why not using apache with vhosts? [10:07] because.. I'm using lighttpd. [10:07] innociv, their chan still up [10:07] innociv: ok [10:07] how many shared hosting can we get on a VPS? [10:08] chouchou_: have you read was i was writing? [10:08] chouchou_: depends entirely on your hardware and your demands of every vps [10:10] i install chromium browser and add flash plugin, the first time I it (with --enable-plugins) the flash works perfectly. When I close the browser and restart it (again with --enable-plugins) flash doesnt work. [10:11] Also if i make apt-get --reinstall install chromium-browser. flash works again until i reopen the browser. Noone knows how to fix it? [10:15] *crickets* :) has it really been this quiet? [10:16] :/ [10:17] ok, let's take a case study of http://www.hostv.com/vps-hosting.shtml [10:18] how many VPS can they their servers, and how many shared hosting can they have on VPS account? [10:19] chouchou_: Do you really need to ask the same thing in at least 3 channels? [10:19] Daviey: euh, I am doing research === PoLiCiA is now known as InDrO [10:20] i want to have views first, and compile my findings [10:20] sorry maybe i am not in the correct channel to ask a question of chromium-browser, there is a specific channel for doubts and problemsS? [10:20] i realized my problem is.. my box doesn't know of the ip. Not in the uhh.. forgot what you call it. Not iptables .. [10:22] Hi [10:22] Does anyone know if shred is limited by the contents of /dev/random or /dev/urandom? [10:22] your name is (TM) [10:23] text test [10:23] you will be hearing from our lawyers shortly [10:23] Would someone explain the oddities in BC? http://pastebin.com/m69d00ce [10:23] DigitalKiwi: Well it's the default that I got when I installed xchat :) [10:24] ubuntu: i thought shred used a fixed pattern? [10:24] sorry this is correct: http://pastebin.com/m5a6987f0 [10:24] I mean with correct questions [10:24] Trijntje: It uses "random" data to write to disk [10:26] Trijntje: It cycles through a number of patterns, followswith a random one, and then optionally zeros [10:26] for a hard drive shouldn't you just need to zero it? [10:27] hello [10:27] hello [10:27] ubuntu: see Flannel's post [10:27] DigitalKiwi, apparently things can be recovered even after zeroing it (it sorta just makes the magnetism less intense, but not gone). so randomizing the data confuses data recovery mechanisms for good [10:27] I have an ubuntu iso and I'd like to extract* filesystem files, how can I do this ? [10:28] fall: you want files off of the ubuntu cd? what's the end goal? [10:28] yo yo yo [10:28] xtknight: to copy one [10:28] fall: it's best and easier to get an updated version of the file from packages.ubuntu.com === PuTrA_caem is now known as steel_hearts [10:29] hello. I'm running ubuntu off usb, persistent with casper-rw, how can I find out how much "space" I have left, and how can I increase the size of casper-rw & extract the files off it? [10:29] jpsl: df -h [10:29] xtknight: I don't want an update version I'd like to extract files [10:29] NO data recovery company says it can restore a drive that has been wiped even just once with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx so I'm wondering if this shred is just as time wasteful as writing random data to a drive === steel_hearts is now known as edward_cullen [10:30] thanks ActionParsnip .. [10:30] Hi there! [10:30] DigitalKiwi, well, fbi can apparently === PuTrA_caem is now known as Edward_cullen [10:30] DigitalKiwi: that's a lie. [10:30] fall, i think there is a squashfs file you can decompress on the cd called casper [10:30] How can I reinstall broken package?.. [10:30] DigitalKiwi: you can use the ultimate boot cd which will invert the bits 7 times and is suitable for MoD [10:30] the only people can recover it.. [10:30] xtknight: thx [10:31] -the only [10:31] fall as i said though there are few times when you should want to copy a file off the cd, also packages.ubuntu.com has older versions if you want [10:31] it may not do what you expect or even work at all [10:31] snake oil! [10:31] ok I am back. let's take this Dual Core Intel® Pentium® D 3.0Ghz 250GB SATA Hard Drive 2GB DDR2 100Mbit Unmetered* [10:31] number of Dedicatd and/ or shared hosting? === Edward_cullen is now known as andre_cullens [10:31] How can I reinstall broken package?.. [10:31] http://www.root777.com/unix-linux/the-great-zero-challenge/ [10:31] DigitalKiwi: if you only echo zeros to the surace you can recover the data with oscilloscopes but its insanely expensive [10:31] When setting up quotas on a server, are quota automatically ON after server reboot? [10:31] sapfeer: sudo apt-get --reinstall install === PuTrA_caem is now known as andre_cullen [10:32] hello all, has anybody experiences with ubuntu on amillo la 1703? distribution which would be the best, and where there are drivers? thank you in advance [10:32] "only those with electron microscopes" [10:33] Fenryr: there is no best [10:33] DigitalKiwi: from the site. [10:33] when it comes to destroying the data just overwrite the header area a thousand times with random garbage. It will take only a second or two, and the whole drive will be useless to anyone. [10:33] MrEgg964: i think its a mount options. see: http://www.windowsvistaplace.com/ubuntu-linux-disk-quotas/othersoftware/ [10:33] lol.. [10:33] "chromium-browser" with flash only works the first time, How can i fix it? [10:33] haha [10:33] jpsl: i'd just use a hammer ;) [10:33] I'm sure it could be recovered. [10:33] takeshi-, don't you have to run it with enable plugins each time [10:33] when only the header area is broken :D [10:33] !laptop | Fenryr [10:33] Fenryr: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [10:33] ActionParsnip: :p [10:33] apt-get install testdisk, boom, you dont need to first 512 bytes of the disk [10:34] or, partition [10:34] i always run with --enable-plugins [10:34] ActionParsnip: reinstall doesn't working... [10:34] Hmm. [10:34] /home/user $ sudo apt-get -- reinstall install [10:34] E: Invalid operation reinstall [10:34] Fenryr: best is an opinion so is not concrete [10:34] there are about 10 backup MFTs on an ext4 partition. did you know that? [10:34] lol [10:34] about* [10:34] sapfeer: if you provide the output of the command, maybe i can advise [10:34] thanks, see you [10:34] sapfeer: use http://pastebin.com [10:34] lol [10:34] jpsl: pretty sure that was sarcasm in the article [10:34] weasel words [10:34] sapfeer: no, you need to add the package name, silly [10:35] I didn't read it in it's entirety [10:35] sapfeer: and there is no space between -- and reinstall, its --reinstall [10:35] ActionParsnip: I no that I need to add pacckage name... [10:35] takeshi-, not sure, it works for me with many instances of chromium open [10:35] ActionParsnip: I don't read the sarcasm :p [10:36] sapfeer: and remove the space I specified also, i gave the whole command so you can copy / paste and then change the package name [10:36] xtknight i always run chromium with --enable-plugins. Flash seems to work again if i reinstall chromium but again only the first boot [10:36] takeshi-, but i have trouble with flash just totally stealing my audio, so i have to close them all anyway. not sure if that's a chromium only problem [10:36] but that would get rid of all chance of recoverying an encrypted drive (over writing its header) [10:36] ActionParsnip: It works without space between -- and reinstall [10:36] sapfeer: if you read my command, i didnt put a space in it, you did [10:36] takeshi-, try to do a diff of when you reinstall it and after you execute it once [10:36] ActionParsnip: It's ok. Thank you very much! [10:37] sapfeer: np bro, try to run full and correct commands [10:37] ok [10:37] sapfeer: running partial / incorrect commands may harm your system [10:38] thanks xtknight ( takeshi- runs to find a howto to make a diff, XD) [10:38] ActioParsnip: I know, but I wonder why there is no information about --reinstall command in man apt-get... [10:38] takeshi-, it looks like ~/.config/chromium is good place to diff [10:38] ActionParsnip: just reading more into the challenge [10:38] You may not write any data to the drive or disassemble the drive [10:38] takeshi-, oh dont worry about that, it's just "diff -Nru old_folder new_folder > mydiffoutput.diff" [10:38] sapfeer: http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get [10:38] uh, if your read head is broken, doesn't mean your data is dead.. [10:38] sapfeer: about 50% of the way down [10:39] ActionParsnip: I'm pretty sure that challenge is stupid :p [10:39] well. not completely [10:39] ActioParsnip: I've found. Thanks a lot [10:39] takeshi-, what you want to do is copy a clean reinstall of ~/.config/chromium to ~/Desktop/chromium-good and then diff that ~/Desktop/chromium-good with ~/.config/chromium (the latter folder should reflect AFTER two times have been executed and flash no longer works) [10:39] jpsl: its pointless as users should have backups [10:39] jpsl: and drives are inexpensive [10:39] takeshi-, now i dont know if that's the problem folder, and when you say reinstall, it might even be the system files that are changing, not the ~/.config/chromium folder. that's probably true if when you uninstall the package you don't use purge.. [10:39] xtknight ok [10:39] hello [10:40] thanks [10:40] hello [10:40] I just installed ebox, but now I forgot the port to access it ;) what's the default ebox webaccess port again? ^^ [10:40] what music player is the best in ubuntu? [10:40] ActionParsnip: .. that wasn't the point of the challenge. [10:40] the point was to prove whether hard drives could be read after zeroed [10:40] !best | groza [10:40] groza: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [10:40] jpsl: true but a feasibility study would prove it a pointless excersize [10:40] yes [10:41] but i cant choose betwen amarok and rythbox [10:41] ActionParsnip: unless it was absolutely necessary [10:41] jpsl: but if folks wanna have a chuckle then thats their porrogitive (sp) [10:41] =) [10:41] ActionParsnip: Maybe you can help me to find out the reasons of some strange behaviour of my system?.. [10:41] so uhh, my friend's PC shows a message - An automatic fsck of the root filesystem failed. A manual fsck must be performed in maintenance mode. Maintenance shell started. [10:41] rythmbox can burn audio cd but ammarok has bettter sound [10:41] sapfeer: tell me a story.. [10:41] what is he supposed to write then? [10:41] hi [10:41] I'm trying to figure out how to make rsync not overwrite old files. [10:41] !fsck | XQbit [10:41] groza: it's a question/decision only you can make [10:41] XQbit: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [10:41] guh [10:42] ActionParsnip: Yesterday It flushes some setting. I can [10:42] ikonia:ok i remember you banned me once [10:42] XQbit: I suggest booting into a livecd, and fsck'ing all my partitions manually iwth that. [10:42] ikonia:thanks [10:42] XQbit: +1 what MenZa suggested [10:42] groza: We can't choose between Rhythmbox or Amarok for you, either. [10:42] lol. [10:42] mpd [10:42] XQbit: or boot to recovery root console, you will need to umount the partitions [10:42] What is fsck'ing exactly, please? [10:42] better sound. [10:42] * jpsl laughs. [10:42] some 1 can help me with a wireless?alice?Thanks [10:42] XQbit: its like chkdsk in windows [10:43] ActionParsnip: Yesterday It flushes some setting. I can't find the link between the settings it reset: some of them I made two days ago and some more than two months... [10:43] oh [10:43] sapfeer: settings for what? [10:43] XQbit: File-system check disk. It basically checks if something went wrong with the partitions and tries to correct whatever mistakes it finds. [10:43] ActionParsnip: but better =D and faster [10:43] well, when I've tried it anyway [10:43] mpd > amarok || rhythmbox [10:43] ActionParsnip: A lot of stuff: application, system settings... [10:43] jpsl: ive no experience of it [10:43] sapfeer: sounds like your gconf has become corrupted in some way [10:43] Thanks guys! [10:43] ActionParsnip: System's log says nothing... [10:44] sapfeer: well your system settings for your user are stored mainly in your home folder in hidden directories and files [10:44] sapfeer: you'll have to wade through all the logs to see whats going on [10:45] Oh by the way, what would be a good book for understanding the inner workings of Ubuntu? :] [10:45] XQbit: i suggest getting one thats generic to Linux rather than simply ubuntu specific, it will prepare you for any distro then [10:45] ActionParsnip: Take a look: [10:45] /var/log/syslog:Aug 27 23:13:06 lenovo-y510ka kernel: [    0Aug 27 23:17:01 lenovo-y510ka /USR/SBIN/CRON[7584]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) [10:46] ActionParsnip: System did [10:46] ActionParsnip: System didn't record it activity for some minutes...

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:52] type "echo ~/*" why does this not escape directory names? isn't that kind of against the point of completion?

[10:55] ActionParsnip, i'm not sure, i'm just wondering if bash works properly when it completes directories and so on. for example, i think this would break "mplayer *" if you had folders with spaces in them [10:56] you can use "mplayer*" and it will find files starting with mplayer that have spaces too [10:56] * ActionParsnip kicks his slow scsi rebuild :( [10:56] for instance let's say I wanted to play every file in a directory. mplayer * would not work for video files with spaces in them (that is, calling mplayer with an argument of * on the bash shell) [10:57] (that would add them to a playlist) [10:57] wait people put spaces in names ? blasphemy! [10:58] i was wondering if that constituted a bug or not, or whether this is really expected behavior [10:58] how do i add a channel to favorites??

[14:08] pradeep: yes [14:08] mUrshEd: vague specificitions.. thers is no 'one' [14:08] mUrshEd, prob red hat commerial or ubuntu [14:08] pradeep: aah sorry didnt read that === Deadly is now known as Guest69629 [14:08] pradeep: cant help [14:08] pradeep, I can help [14:08] RAD HAT is ver RED HOT [14:08] mUrshEd: for your system specs try Ubuntu and see how well it runs. [14:09] what's the largest you're supposed to have a fat32 partition? [14:09] mUrshEd: go use what you want... [14:09] its commercial [14:09] i love ubuntu [14:09] i use it in 1.5years :)) [14:09] shazbotmcnasty, not much its more file size issues [14:09] plz dn mind... and i'm also LOVE LINUX Mint [14:09] mhm [14:10] mUrshEd: id suggest avoiding Mint and sticking to Normal Ubuntu. [14:10] shazbotmcnasty, what is your issue anyway? [14:10] LinuxMint Based on UBUNTU [14:10] shazbotmcnasty: windows 2000 and windows XP had a limit on them of creating FAT32 partitions no bigger than 32GB [14:10] mUrshEd: Yes I know.. I still suggest avoideing it. [14:10] !mint | mUrshEd [14:10] mUrshEd: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [14:10] avoiding MInt [14:10] messed up video drivers, and difficulties mounting [14:10] oh... [14:10] can u describe me [14:10] well [14:10] that's not very big at all [14:10] lol [14:10] shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:10] can u describe me Dr_Willis [14:10] Theres lots of ubuntu-spinoff's that you should avoide. [14:11] but other which are good [14:11] Dr_Willis: the reasons being? [14:11] Mint very SLOW Dr_Willis [14:11] *sarcasm* Ubuntu Christan Edition Here I come!! [14:11] indus: its not got anything really to offer that normal ubuntu dosent. [14:11] Dr_Willis: hmm i guess thats true [14:11] shazbotmcnasty: it is possible to have MUCH bigger partitions than this and windows 2000/XP will even read them, but MS recommend you don't make them bigger because of the performance implications [14:11] I really dont know why that exists, [14:11] use mint - you learn 'mint' not 'ubuntu' [14:11] Dr_Willis tell me what is the best PC for ubuntu [14:12] I see. [14:12] p3 or p4? [14:12] aethelrick, its file size which kills it [14:12] Seveas: ping [14:12] Dr_Willis: u really a doctor :P [14:12] mUrshEd, anything with a HDD and a CPU [14:12] mUrshEd: best PC? whatever fits your budget. What sort of question is that..... [14:12] so the only actually good other file system is ext3 and ext4 for large hard drives? [14:12] shazbotmcnasty, no there a few [14:12] shazbotmcnasty: whats wrong with ntfs [14:12] nothing [14:12] shazbotmcnasty, mac journelling [14:12] i have 1.8 Celeron D, 1GB ram and 160GB HDD ... but why it slow my PC [14:12] what's wrong with xfs? [14:13] i talk UBUNTU os [14:13] shouldn't be [14:13] r u clear? Dr_Willis [14:13] thats what I have [14:13] indus, is that the one with a 4gb file-size cap, or am i thinking FAT? [14:13] I don't know much about either of those [14:13] shazbotmcnasty: there are lots of file systems :) but if you want to use the disk in conjunction with windows and linux... then it's a less than perfect world [14:13] or actually, file systems at all [14:13] no thats NFTS [14:13] /MSG nickserv REGISTER password email [14:13] then that's one thing wrong with it :p [14:13] ceil420: well,i think its FAT [14:13] shazbotmcnasty: 4GB file size limit is FAT32 [14:13] I know his passwords [14:13] ah [14:14] sorry wrong one [14:14] oops [14:14] Dr_Willis [14:14] ceil420: 4gb huh what? [14:14] why my PC slow? [14:14] indus, NFTS is limited to 4GB [14:14] change: no it's not [14:14] mUrshEd: no idea. how do you expect me to know when you just give basic system specs? Perhaps you need to install proper video card drivers.. how are you even 'benchmarking' fast/slow. === Deadly is now known as Guest17781 [14:15] !paste xcon [14:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about paste xcon [14:15] ikonia, oh shit, really [14:15] !paste | Xcon [14:15] Xcon: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[14:16] probably off topic [14:16] change: no, NTFS does not have a 4GB file size limit. Please check your facts [14:16] ikonia, should show active usbs [14:17] aethelrick, my bad then, [14:17] change: no - that will show all device nodes for the whole machine [14:17] llutz, full ntfs functionality in linux is still relatively new [14:17] yah i got a 39GB file on an ntfs right now [14:17] ikonia, but also highlight the active ones [14:17] change: you seem to be giving out dubious advice, try to think through what you're saying to people before saying it [14:17] change: no it won't [14:17] change: ok, no problem, just don't want to misinform peeps :) [14:17] change: it will show all device nodes [14:17] ceil420: ntfs-3g is not very new, but still f...ng slow [14:17] ikonia, it does this on mine [14:17] change: no it doesn't [14:17] ikonia, lists all and highlights active ones [14:18] change: it doesn't [14:18] change: it shows all device nodes [14:18] ikonia, this is what happens one mine [14:18] change: it is not [14:18] i want that WVDIAL would work but it doesnt find my device [14:18] ikonia, What does it do on yours [14:18] change: it will show you all the device nodes created on your system [14:18] mika___: should be something like /dev/ttyUSBx [14:18] ikonia, mine lists all of /dev [14:18] that ls just lists anything in the directories [14:19] change lsusb will show usb's [14:19] hello ) [14:19] change: yes, thats right all of /dev [14:19] ikonia, mine lists all of then highlights the active ones with a different color === Deadly is now known as Guest95803 === pussy is now known as pussy21male === pussy21male is now known as pussy21m [14:19] change: no - they are different file types, block character, links etc [14:19] llutz on my /dev directory there isnt any ttyUS* [14:19] change: that is what the different colours mean [14:19] how can i tell mplayer to use JACK if it's running, ALSA if not? i tried ao=jack[newline]ao=alsa in ~/.mplayer/config, but that went straight to trying alsa (which didn't work cos jack was running at the time) [14:19] ikonia, but also active, AT LEAST ON MY INSTALL [14:20] change: no active has nothing to do with it [14:20] HACKERS???????????? [14:20] PROGRAMERS?????? [14:20] ikonia, what are you using [14:20] pussy21m: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:20] pussy21m: what ?

[14:20] ikonia, I count at over 100 [14:21] nottaken, bug [14:21] ahh good (from the perspective of me not doing something stupid) [14:21] ikonia, Ubuntu core , then deraitives then different versions [14:21] change: this channel is for official ubuntu releases only [14:21] nottaken, sure, just make sure it launch pad [14:21] mika___: there was a tool needed for some usb-sticks to switch between mass-storage and modem, i can't recall it's name... [14:22] ikonia, yeah the 10 I can think of now [14:22] ikonia, there is more than just "ubuntu" [14:22] change, i don't think this channel supports any more than Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu [14:22] change: no - the releases are listed on ubuntu.com - that is all that's supported [14:22] someone did put on wvdialconfig file /dev/sr1 and it worked on that guys computer....but not on mine.... [14:22] Is there a way to stop vince opening directories when attaching a USB storage? [14:22] and i think they even stopped releasing Edubuntu as a separate entity [14:23] ceil420, yeah but the different versions [14:23] thats my point [14:23] change, you mean 9.04, 8.10, etc? [14:23] ceil420, yes [14:23] change: what version are you using that has active nodes hilighted in /dev [14:23] oh [14:23] ikonia, 8.10 hitting it for me now [14:23] change I'm on 8.10 too and that is not how it works [14:24] ikonia, but it does on mine [14:24] maybe it's your terminal. or your shell. [14:24] ikonia, could be [14:24] change: I promise you it doesn't - it's just the different file types, block/character/link etc [14:24] are you still using gnome's terminal and bash? [14:24] change: udev and "ls" are not clever enough to do that [14:24] yes [14:24] or screen? [14:24] change: ls is aliaed to "ls --color" [14:24] guys i need some help [14:25] look, mine might not work as the defult [14:25] change: that has no ability to know what devices are active/dead [14:25] change: thats correct actually, the colors are differnt types,blocks,links etc some characters [14:25] Algdusk, yeah === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:25] change: just accept that's not how it works, it's not a big deal but it has to be corrected as your advice is miss-leading people [14:25] change: i think if device is not active it wont show at all? ? [14:25] Yes but mine does further, could be some dev packages [14:25] hi everyone! [14:25] indus: correct as udev wont create it [14:25] change: no it doesn't [14:26] change: ls is a binary that has no awarness of hal/dbus/udev [14:26] does anybody know a decent FTP client (NC-style) [14:26] ikonia: cos i was recently searching for /dev/video and couldnt see it [14:26] ikonia, can you not accept that this is how it works on my system [14:26] change: because it's not [14:26] for vbox to work , can i just put the windows 7 install disk into my dvd drive and chose to visualise the contents of the drive [14:26] gFTP has no hotkeys AFAIK [14:26] ikonia, OPEN SOURCE mean anything to you [14:26] change: how did you do it ? [14:27] change, just cause it does it on your system does not mean that it will on everyone elses. [14:27] ikonia, I don't know [14:27] ikonia:please take change to ops [14:27] indus: /dev/video used to be a link but I believe all video cards are named now /dev/vide0 /dev/video1 [14:27] oldude67, yeah, [14:27] indus: there is no need to go tot he operator channel [14:27] anyone have a good doc on setting up ubuntu server with lamp and smtp/pop?

[14:28] ikonia, exactly that what is good [14:28] indus: set it to use /dev/vide0 - assuming you have /dev/vide0 [14:28] ikonia: thats the question,why do i not have /dev/video randoml [14:29] ikonia: needs restats sometimes [14:29] can i run gparted from ubuntu usb live 8.04? [14:29] khaos, what is this [14:29] khaos, what is this/what is wrong [14:29] indus: because video cards are now named to allow multiple cards eg: /dev/video0 , /dev/video1 etc etc [14:29] Cptnodegard: you sure can [14:29] ikonia: ok nvm ill see [14:29] hi.. how do i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 w/o using gui?

[14:31] amitprakash: it's not risky [14:31] Dr_Willis: what's different? have u tried em both and u noticed docky's better? [14:31] amitprakash: i mean, you could edit sources.list [14:31] amitprakash: 8.04 -> 8.10 is an acceptable update path [14:31] ikonia, the documentation uses gui.. i was looking at something like aptitude dist-upgrade [14:31] indus: that is not the process [14:31] Dr_Willis: of yes, could u tell why, thanks [14:31] amitprakash: there is something in the docs - one moment [14:31] ikonia: ok [14:31] khaos: gnome-do actually works.. :) the other docks ive tried are all buggy [14:31] Dr_Willis: gnome-do you say, is it in the repos?

I am trying to get a Broadcom wireless driver working with ndiswrapper, I use the ndisgtk UI. I selected the .inf file, and now it says that the driver is installed. However, Network Manager still doesn't show any wireless options. Does anyone have experience with this? [14:40] yes Sir [14:40] Is it necessary to do anything else to get it working? [14:40] 9.04 and my VGA driver is ATI Radeon [14:40] (I have Jaunty) [14:40] Halabund: ndis shouldnt be necessary. there are native drivers for 'em all now [14:40] maco: amitprakash: 9.04 and my VGA driver is ATI Radeon [14:40] Halabund: allt he broadcom i mean [14:40] hi, how can i make picture thumbnails from video file? (tool, ... ???) thx [14:41] maco: Yes, there are, but I cannot use them at university. At other locations it works fine, but here it disconnects every 2-3 minutes [14:41] panko_: depends on how you want to do it.. ffmpeg and mencoder both can do that I recall. (i think i saw it in the mencoder faq) [14:41] oh. :( [14:41] how can i tell mplayer to use JACK if it's running, ALSA if not? i tried ao=jack[newline]ao=alsa in ~/.mplayer/config, but that went straight to trying alsa (which didn't work cos jack was running at the time) === Deadly is now known as Guest7016 [14:41] maco: I tried to Google the problem, and found some threads saying that installing a driver with ndiswrapper should solve the problem [14:41] maco: amitprakash: 9.04 and this is the exact name "ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650" [14:42] !ati > mostafa_ [14:42] mostafa_, please see my private message [14:42] sorry. does somebody know why i have to insert deb-src... in my repository of Synaptic? [14:42] ceil420: could make an alias to run one way or the other.. but you have to then know if jack is running or not.. guess ya could script that some how also. [14:42] adrenalink: nope no idea. why are you choosing to insert it? [14:42] adrenalink: to get the 'source' packages. ? [14:43] IdleOne: yeah ati [14:43] yes [14:43] adrenalink: yes to what? :) [14:43] i need to update a repository [14:43] mostafa_: you got a pm from ubottu about it [14:43] i've done it [14:43] Dr_Willis: it doesn't matter .... i would like small pictures in one picture file [14:43] mostafa_: look at the private message you received from ubottu [14:43] adrenalink: er...maybe you could tell us what you're trying to get help with [14:43] ubottu: thanks I check it [14:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:43] Dr_Willis, guess i'll do 'alsa' in the config and just '-ao jack' on demand (i use it more when not running jack anyway; only use it when jack's running when i need a break from production) [14:43] but in a previous updating i don't inserte the deb-src and it works fine , [14:43] adrenalink: because so far all youve said is you have access to source packages [14:43] thanks anyway [14:44] panko_: i belive i saw example mencoder command line examples of that in the mencoder faq/docs I was reading throgh just the other day.. or fire up mplayer and use its screenshot feature. [14:44] i don't know if there could be a problem later [14:44] adrenalink: you shouldnt need access to source packages to install updates [14:44] mostafa_: open system>administration>hardware drivers any drivers listed there? [14:44] So, anyone has any experience with ndiswrapper. Should the wireless just work after installing the driver using the GUI tool or do I need to do anything else? [14:44] adrenalink: im guessng the refresh button you hit afte adding the repo is what didit [14:44] mlceesay@hotmail.com [14:44] Dr_Willis: ok, i'll try, thx [14:44] I am online any nice man [14:45] any nice man or woman [14:45] welcome [14:45] to chat with me at msn mlceesay@hotmail.com [14:45] !ot | molaka99 [14:45] molaka99: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[14:52] Cptnodegard, yes [14:52] adrenalink: you only need the deb line [14:52] adrenalink: that's what'll let you install binary packages [14:52] I just run wires.. what can i say. :) [14:52] Dr_Willis tp_ thanks [14:53] adrenalink: the deb-src line is if youre a developer and want to get source packages so you can modify or rebuid them [14:53] I am having a MAJOR hard drive issue involving superblock backups on ext3... anyone feeling helpful? [14:53] Dr_Willis: Nope: didnt work :( | i guess, reinstallation is the only way | actually this happened after i installed lamp-server :( i uninstalled it after, but still [14:53] Dr_Willis: It's university policy not to allow mobile machines on the wired network... I can't access the internet except through wireless [14:53] Hiu, I'm looking at setting up a private mirror of ubuntu, but the only guide I can find on setting up mirrors will mirror the archive, rather than the latest release. Is there some documentation somewhere that would describe mirroring only the latest release? [14:53] ah ok.. [14:53] how do u resize the windows/partion on an machine with ubutu insatlled over windows [14:54] Halabund: what card do you have and what problem are you having?

Unless you did a REAL bad typo and did the chown on / not /home/ [14:54] because installing vlc the instruction says to me to put deb and deb-src [14:54] Dr_Willis: i am confused with the same. [14:54] tp_: windows has features to resize ntfs that work very well. (faster then the ubuntu resizer tools) [14:54] Halabund, and do the admins there provide a linux client for you, as im sure they have some stupid "security requirements" too right? [14:54] Dr_Willis: i am sure, i did typed this exactly | sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www [14:54] tp_: i resize ntfs and leave part of the hd at the end unallocated [14:54] no changes in the above | even i didnt changed the user [14:55] ada adymannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn === ppob is now known as Plankt0n [14:55] GPL: that directory should have nothing to do with the system 'booting' or logging in/starting X.

I googled and found some threads suggesting to use the windows driver with ndiswrapper instead of the one that comes with Ubuntu. That's where I'm stuck.

[14:56] whoops! [14:56] Halabund: so the wireless works in linux at 'most places' but Not the University wireless network? [14:56] maco: will the loading of my synaptic be faster if I remove the deb-src line?? [14:57] adrenalink: when you do the "refresh" to refresh message lists, yeah [14:57] Plankt0n, please see my private message == ok [14:57] Halabund, so it works everywhere except university, where they have crippled access.. i think you have you answer. I would speak to your IT dept if i were you.

I haven't used it at many places though. I mostly use the wireless. "Doesn't work" means that it disconnects every few minutes [14:57] i cant register = maco [14:57] Dr_Willis: *I mostly use the wried network, I mean [14:57] Halabund: is this a WEP vs WPA or similar problem? Perhaps some extra config options on the linux driver may solve your problem? I would avoid ndiswrapper unless absolutely required [14:57] Dr_Willis: how can i make appear minimized windows in a specific panel? "add function to panel" but which one? thx [14:57] but when I start it doesn't it make a refresh automatically?' i think so... [14:57] Halabund: ok.. ive heard of 'frequent disconnects' with some drivers.. :) [14:57] Plankt0n: do what the bot tells you to [14:57] woot it finished [14:57] Plankt0n: its been PM'd to you and said in the channel twice [14:58] Dr_Willis: i guess : reinstalling Ubuntu would be an easier way, thanks anyways | i dont want this to be a mess | i ll just need to reinstall the packages [14:58] khaos: not sure.. start adding them and see what one is what. ;) - windows list perhaps? [14:58] hello all again..i tryed to modprobe usb-storage and usbserial to get ttyU* but i doesent work :/ [14:58] Dr_Willis: maybe is windows list, thanks [14:58] so i cant get my usb-stick-modem to work [14:58] I have a netbook and it takes a longi time to load my synaptic [14:58] Dr_Willis: Many people have the same problem, most of them complaining that it doesn't work at university/school/etc. I don't know why are these school networks different than a home one [14:58] i think wireless increases the energy density in the air and is not harmless... i have stopped using my mobile phone too.. [14:58] Can someone tell me how i can manually add program to /etc/rc2.d === root is now known as Guest93416 [14:59] Halabund: could be interfearance [14:59] aethelrick: I disabled the driver that comes with Ubutnu. The wireless option disappeared from network manager. Then I installed the windows driver with ndiswrapper, but the wireless option doesn't reappear, not even after a reboot [14:59] Night all... [14:59] iluminator101: Use update-rc.d [14:59] Dr_Willis: It works just fine in Windows. [14:59] Halabund, they restrict access to machines that done run win/mac usually [14:59] GrimJack: in the man page of e2fsck you can see other values for the backup superblock to be found... with 4 kiB blocks it is 32768 so it would be « e2fsck -b 32768 otheroptionshere » [15:00] Halabund, speak to the IT dept [15:00] Halabund: that proves its not inteferance then? :) actually windows drivers do have more features then many of the linux ones.. so it could be be due to interfearince.. [15:00] GrimJack: fsck.ext3 is a link to e2fsck [15:00] genni: how do i create link manually though [15:00] maco [15:00] halabund: if your wireess connection do not works try to installa wicd [15:00] i cant register in #freenode..why? [15:00] Dr_Willis: I wasn't even asking for help with that. I just want to get this ndiswrapper thing working ... [15:00] it will remove network manager [15:00] iluminator101: ln -s [15:00] Plankt0n: ask #freenode? [15:00] Halabund: does it show ndiswrapper registering the wireless interface in dmesg? [15:01] Plankt0n: theyre the server ops [15:01] sorry [15:01] does anyone know how i get ttyU* to my dev directory?

[15:02] Plankt0n: ask in #freenode [15:02] mika___: like /dev/ttyUSB0-9 ? The usbserial driver normally makes theose === ian_brasil is now known as IAO [15:02] thanks to everybody, goodbye [15:02] Halabund: I hear your question, but I can't urge you enough... don't use ndiswrapper until you've exhausted other possibilities. It's flaky at best. Why not try to get the linux driver for your card up and working correctly?? [15:02] maco /join #freenode [15:02] is there an ext3-specific command I ought to be using then? (I'm booted into a system rescue CD; sysresccd.org) I've already used mke2fs to locate all the backup superblocks... or should I be using mke3fs...? Is there such a thing?) [15:02] genii well i made that sudo modprobe usbserial but it didnt make those [15:02] #madura [15:03] mika___: Then likely it didn't see anything on the usb hub corresponding to a serial device [15:03] SodaCan: I think you can just add it to /etc/rc.local [15:03] but there is....i have vendor and product ID with lsusb command [15:03] GrimJack: no you where using the worng options. is not "fsck.ext3 -y -n [superblock backu#] /dev/sdb2" is "fsck.ext3 -y -n -b [superblock backu#] /dev/sdb2" === jay is now known as Arcitens [15:03] aethelrick: Because I have no idea how to do that, and during last week I didn't even get a single repsonse to questions here. Googleing didn't help. The best I found is the thread about ndiswrapper. If you have better idea about where to look, please tell me.

[15:06] I get a "only one of the options may be used -p/-a , -n , -y" [15:07] maco sorry .. but i cant register nick n my private channel [15:07] hello. how do I check which services I am starting at boot [15:07] and how do I add apache to sttart at boot [15:07] Plankt0n: #freenode for help with registering [15:07] Halabund: type "lspci" in a console to see a list of identified devices [15:08] b3rz3rk3r: there doesn't seem to be anything on either of those pages for what I need [15:08] So instead of "fsck.ext3 -y -n -b [superblock backu#] /dev/sdb2" I should use "fsck.ext3 -y -b [superblock backu#] /dev/sdb2" ?? [15:08] Drop the -n ?? [15:08] i cnat idleon [15:08] Halabund, if your card works everywhere but university, dont you think that it is your university causing the problems? [15:08] GrimJack: the -n is to do a read only (no repair) run [15:08] Is there anyway to trick ubuntu into thinking it has a screen? [15:08] Plankt0n: you cant what? [15:08] trism: It says, "bcmwl5 : driver installed" and "device (14E4:4318) present (alternate driver: ssb)" And before that a "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release."

I'll see if I can find you a solution [15:11] Halabund: you could check iwconfig to see if it lists the wlan interface [15:11] b3rz3rk3r: No, because it works just fine on Windows for me, and for everynoe else. Also many people report problems like this with Ubuntu. I suspect it's because there are actually several devices scattered throughout the building providing the network rather than one (as in the case of home wireless routers) [15:11] Halabund: it could be the the ssd driver got loaded instead, I usually have to blacklist the alternate drivers so ndiswrapper grabs them instead [15:11] trism: it doesn't list it [15:12] trism: ow do I blacklist drivers? [15:12] Halabund: check lsmod | grep ssb and see if anything comes up [15:12] trism: through the atmosphere, by prism! [15:12] trism: Yes, it does [15:13] Halabund, yes, my university blocks access to linux machines too.. when in windows they work fine. Its to do with the "security" packages that they install to allow you to use the network [15:13] Halabund: you can try adding blacklist ssb to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and rebooting to see if ndiswrapper picks up the interface instead [15:13] Halabund, the fact that the card works everywhere else but university doesnt trouble you? [15:13] how do i capture a sysrq dump? [15:14] Plankt0n: do NOT /msg users who have asked that you stop doing so. [15:15] itswhatev: with a digital camera ? sometimes is the only way ...

[15:27] moiubuntu, np [15:27] erUSUL: fdisk doesn't even show the device [15:27] hi, someone can give me a link for a tutorial about installation of miniDLNA from the scratch (I'm new of Ubuntu/linux). thanks [15:27] i have ubuntu 8.10 with kernel 2.6.27-14 and i installed 2.6.25-2 in order the b43xx injection to work, and when i started the computer with the 2.6.25 kernel, i dont have wireless network at all...but in 2.6.27-14 i have it [15:27] moiubuntu, if you cant fix it, have you though about stcking with the LTS's [15:27] Administrator_: trying Part B (Safe/Optimal) [15:28] ok [15:28] Administrator_: maybe [15:28] GrimJack: o.0! can you check « dmesg | less » [15:28] GrimJack: things related to the disk [15:28] well? [15:28] anyone? [15:28] moiubuntu, this is what i would do re-install and before update i would edit my xorg.conf [15:29] moonshine: what does that have to do with patching kernels ? [15:29] Administrator_: fetching packages just a sec [15:29] erUSUL: coffee [15:29] cause the b43xx injection works until version 2.6.25, it is not supported for higher kernels... [15:29] moonshine: maybe it is just that the 25 kernel does not support your wifi card at all [15:30] erUSUL: just about everything in dmesg is disc related, I/O errors. [15:30] GrimJack: your disk is crap i reckon [15:30] erUSUL: I am going to power the machine down and reboot into the live [15:30] s/is/has [15:30] i dont understand...they make the injection but it is not supported? confused... [15:30] GrimJack: or either the drive's fscked [15:30] how do I automatically rejoin when kicked in X-chat? [15:30] GrimJack: your disk has died/is dying? not sure if anything can be done about it. you can not mount the partitions anymore ? [15:31] first, they assure it is supported for the kernel version [15:31] erUSUL: It mounted when I initially ran fsck from the live disc [15:31] erUSUL: I didn't mount it before running fsck, but fsck was able to 'see' it... [15:32] GrimJack: if you can mount it i would backup any inportant data ASAP [15:33] well? no idea? anyone? [15:33] Are links always lrwxrwxrwx (777) Yes/No? [15:33] ls [15:34] arand: no [15:34] Hello I've deleted files with "rm" is it possible to restore them somehow? [15:34] xnox: restore from backup [15:34] !undelete | xnox it is very difficult [15:34] xnox it is very difficult: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [15:34] xnox, in your /home/share/.trash [15:34] erUSUL: is it possible to change their permissions with chmod? [15:35] xnox, going forward it might be useful to add this to your .bash_aliases file alias rm='rm -i' -- it will prompt you for deletion [15:35] arand: no [15:35] xnox, sorry /home/.local/share/trash [15:35] are these to do with the ati radeon driver? libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa mesa-utils [15:35] llutz: then how? [15:35] so, symlinks are always 777 :) [15:35] Shirotoko, not if he rm'd it [15:35] erUSUL: Understood. Rebooting into live CD now. [15:35] arand: yes a link is just another file [15:36] hey, i have a problem, whenever i go to login to a site such as facebook, it says waiting for login.facebook.com, but then nothing loads.... til it times out. how do i fix this??? some other sites aren't loading as well... i know the problem isn't in my internet, cuz my other laptop with windows is working fine [15:36] Shirotoko: there is nothing there =( Oh well gonna read links now [15:36] erUSUL: I tried using chmod on a symlink and it failed with no errors (i.e. permissions remained 777 after chmod 755 [15:36] erUSUL: rebooting into the life CD and issuing fdisk shows the drive now... [15:36] xnox, files deleted from the command line with rm do NOT goto your trash folder [15:37] arand: symlinks do not need chmodding [15:37] arand: you change permissions for destin=ation file, not symlink itself [15:37] xnox, use the rm -i alias I posted earlier [15:37] arand: chmod the thing it points to [15:37] does anyone know what the problem could be? [15:37] GrimJack: as i said i would backup all important data ASAP. [15:37] erUSUL: I will again try "e2fsck -y -b 8193 /dev/sdb2" [15:37] Cpudan80: Uuu: so you are saying symlinks are _always_ 777 then? === ballzee is now known as Sinister [15:38] Houba1986: try this « echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling » then try to access the probelmatic sites [15:38] Hi, can anyone help me with transferring files? [15:38] arand: it seems so :) it's no need to worry, permissions are available for files they point to. [15:38] codered, to and from where? [15:39] from an mmc card into another folder (samba?) [15:39] erUSUL: bad magic number error, trying with 32768 [15:39] im trying to copy binary files and its saying symlinks is not supported or something [15:39] Uuu: yes, I'm not worried, just collecting info for a bug. [15:39] erUSUL: nope, same problem [15:40] Houba1986: undo the change « echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling » [15:40] arand: if you need to know file perms, try ls -lL symbolic-link [15:40] or so [15:40] erUSUL: some progress, I got a /dev/sdb2 was not cleanly unmounted message and a forced check [15:41] Uuu: I know, cheers [15:41] erUSUL: any other suggestions as to how to fix this??? :S [15:42] is anyone familiar with samba and transferring files into it? [15:42] Houba1986: nope sorry [15:42] Why my irssi with /join joins to current "window"? (/join is not an alias to something else.) [15:42] arand: they use the permissions of hte thing they point at - but if you do ls -a you see they have like rwxrwxrwx [15:42] arand: they aren't actually 777 though [15:43] Uuu: irssi opens a new window for that channel you joined and moves focus to that one as well? [15:43] Paavi2_0: No; it joines to current window, no new one is created. [15:44] Uuu: or does it replace the current channel (number n) with a new one (the same number? [15:44] Paavi2_0: It behaves so after /wjoin and then /join... A bug? [15:44] weird, I can get online via my broadband modem ... while in liove cd version, but not in the native hd version [15:44] Paavi2_0: When I'm on channel 1 and /join 2, current window is connected to the two channels. [15:44] erUSUL: I suspect that because this happened when I went to Jaunty that something in the kernel isn't happy with the Dell BIOS. (My Ubuntu is on a Dell e520) [15:44] liove = live [15:45] !reset panel [15:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about reset panel [15:45] Cpudan80: yea, if you "enter" a link you get the permissions of target, but the linkfile in itself always are on lrwxrwxrwx perms right? [15:45] !panel [15:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about panel [15:45] !samba [15:45] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [15:45] Uuu: is the channel #2 also window number 2? [15:45] * Lost_Lobo is just going to RTFM though :) [15:45] erUSUL: Pass 1 complete, Pass2 in progress [15:45] interesting though [15:45] !panels [15:45] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:45] Paavi2_0: "2" is only an example, and it means #channelname ;) [15:46] hi there, does wget store certificates locally? [15:46] Uuu: i know what you meant but i have to exclude the possibility of user error :) [15:46] erUSUL: All passes complete. It auto-fixes a LOT of inodes, but finished. [15:46] Paavi2_0: clear :) [15:46] I've got a problem with a cert on my box.. I wget https://urlThatHadABrokenCert [15:47] and I can only access it with --no-check-certificate flag [15:47] is it possible it is storing a cert locally on my box? [15:47] erUSUL: would it worthwhile to issue a 'fsck.ext3 /dev/sdb2' again, just to safe? [15:47] Uuu: seems like a strange error, not sure if that could be a bug or just some mis-tweak in your settings [15:47] I didn't think wget would store cert's locally [15:47] I'm trying to get vnc4server to startup without a screen plugged in. When there is no screen plugged in ubuntu complains about it being in low resolution and vnc doesn't start up.. When I've got a screen plugged in ubuntu logs me in and starts up vnc4sever. Any ideas?

[15:49] thanks [15:49] Paavi2_0: I have Hardy's irssi 0.8.12 (20071006 0939)... I'll try to reproduce this and check if it would be possible with a new version if installing it would not mean to compile too much or so ;) [15:49] Hello all [15:50] erUSUL: since I've now run fsck on /dev/sdb2 and it completed clean, would it be safe in your opinion to reboot again and try to log in so I can do a rsync to a backup USB drive? [15:50] Is anyone good with transferring files into samba? [15:50] moiubuntu: support for Intrepid is in this channel === Nicky is now known as Guest84981 [15:50] Paavi2_0: more than 1 window on screen? No, I use "fullscreen" windows (inside screen program).

[15:53] erUSUL: that does not help. its for jaunty and kernel 2.6.30 does not install [15:53] GrimJack: no problem; good luck [15:53] I am a linux_newbie and i like to know what i can do witch linux [15:54] i dont want to do a dist-upgrade for intel now is that a joke!! haha [15:54] moiubuntu: unfortunately it is not [15:54] IdleOne: but it is [15:55] Paavi2_0: I know that there are window modes etc. I understand windows to be "regions" I can switch :] /// Reading docs you gave me link to. [15:55] moiubuntu: yeah I hear you [15:55] IdleOne: i can save my pain just by reverting back to 2.6.27-11 and be done with it. [15:55] moiubuntu: wanted to try the newer kernel and oh the suffering!!! [15:55] How would I setup a user's computer to connect back to my computer using vncserver in connect mode to traverse the firewall? I'm looking for a way to have a icon to be clicked when support is needed [15:55] how i do know if i have the right linux kernel for ubuntu [15:56] Guest41696: sudo aptitude install linux-image [15:56] what is that [15:56] whats some good printing packages for photo's that have different templates ...like for my printer in windows i can print oval shape photo's [15:56] oh well back to square one.. either dist-upgrade|live_with_2.6.27-11 [15:56] Guest41696: what do you mean by "the right linux kernel"? [15:56] does the kernel up dated [15:57] laterz [15:57] thanks anyways no matter how pathetic the solution is [15:57] Any way to temporarily disable compiz with a command?

[15:58] JohnMcClane: some kernel moron [15:58] erUSUL: awesome, thanks. I don [15:58] I don't suppose there's a way of disabling compiz plugins by command? [15:58] Guest84981: what do you mean by updated? are you looking for a particular driver? if you mean security fixes, all current releases have kernels with backported security fixes [15:58] FloridaGuy: you could use phatch (or imagemagic if you want to do it the hard way) and the gimp [15:58] I don't know of any particular printing packages [15:58] sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27-14-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.27-14-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module [15:59] wow!

I'm getting an error about symlinks not being supported [16:00] erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/ma05df02 [16:00] I have an eeepc, I have full ubuntu installed, and configured, but I'm using the generic kernel, on array.org the jaunty kernel is "testing" has anyone used this kernel? Is it stable enough to use or no? [16:01] Paavi2_0: thanks, ok. replacing with metacity seems to work fine, but when I switch back to compiz, I seem to lose my panels [16:01] erUSUL: I was able to boot to my desktop. It seems to have 'forgotten' my desktop resolution, but that's easily fixed. Right now I'm formatting a new 1TB HDD in a USB enclosure to start the rsync [16:01] moiubuntu: Invalid module format <<< o.0! file corrupted ? try reinstalling the kernel [16:01] FloridaGuy: phatch is a way easier image batch processing tool (nice GUI, point and click, very clear) and imagemagic is a bit more involved (long command lines or script writing) [16:01] erUSUL: ok.. let's that a go [16:01] [16:01] Is anyone good with transferring files into samba? I'm getting an error about symlinks not being supported [16:01] GrimJack: ok; during fsck many files could have been lost or moved to /lost+found/ [16:02] Chun1: that's strange... that is either temporary or you might just have to restart the panels manually. first check if there's a process present for the panel... [16:02] hi guys, i want to add new backgrounds files to "wallpapers", if i do when i reboot it doesnt find em cuz my hd's dont get automounted, how do i copy my background files to /wallpapers in order to make ubuntu get them from there instead of searching em in a path that is not automounted? thanks [16:03] !u | noobez [16:03] noobez: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet.

[16:06] noobez: that's a very good question. :) are you using gnome or kde? in other words: ordinary ubuntu or kubuntu? [16:07] noobez: /usr/share/backgrounds [16:07] Paavi2_0: ordinary ubuntu [16:08] hi! should i be using tracker or beagle, or something entirely different? which is going to be officially supported in upcoming releases?

However, thanks for your time :) [16:09] Paavi2_0: thanks but in that path i have other images i've never seen and that don't get shown in "change desktop background/wallpaper" [16:10] noobez: yes they dont get shown until you Add them [16:10] CodeRed: I think the filesystem you are trying to copy files to with Samba does not support Linux symbolic links. Maybe just omit these files. --- I suppose. [16:10] hey guys, is this normal when installing ubuntu 9.04 http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7896/28082009049.jpg ? [16:10] legend2440: so where are those 2 ubuntu default images shown in there? [16:10] [tla]: afaik you can add the cdrom as a normal source [16:11] noobez: but that's the proper place to copy them and you can add them by using the add thingy in change desktop/wallpaper :) [16:11] Is omitting those going to mess up any of the other scripts? [16:11] [tla]: man apt-cdrom [16:11] noobez: then you at least will propably remember best where you left them [16:11] noobez: hover your mouse over them and path to files will show where they are [16:11] <[criipt]> Is there a applet similar to kpf in gnome.

[16:32] n [16:32] GrimJack: the manage shows that -a does the whole combination necessary for a backup. i use -av so itll list what its backing up as it goes [16:32] GrimJack, you could also use the --delete option for files you delete from the source [16:33] I wonder what will be the fastest.. getting an answer from this channel or waiting for my "find / | xargs grep "/opt/crosstool" [16:33] Anyone can tell me where does libtool search for libs? I though it was /etc/ld.so.conf but everythign seems right there.. it search libstdc++.la in a path of my crosstool tests that shouldn't exist anymore [16:33] I cannot get rsakey authentication working to a particular host, the config I am using works with other hosts but one in particular doesnt work, i need hwlp with troubleshooting it [16:34] erUSUL: I'm starting a 'rsync --verbose -ae /path /path" now.

[16:35] *is [16:35] squigle : ldconfig -p | grep std gives me the correct path, not the erronous one [16:35] Dunge, the only 2 other places that get checked is in your LD_LIBRARY_etc env variable and you can hard set binnaries to search for paths (though I dont know how to do that) [16:36] squigle: there is /var/log/dpkg.log or open synaptic > File>History to see whats been installed [16:36] does X have it's own env var session? cause my terminal env var seems fine but maybe I should restart X [16:36] thanks legend2440 [16:37] hey I get a bunch of ATA DRTY errors upon boot. This is probably because I shoved like 3 disks in the box plus like 4 disc drives in and(oh they aren't all detected because i screwed up the IDE jumpers).

I was under the belief that files I backup ought to have user permissions, not su/root ones... so I ought to be able to rsync from /home to /home_backup as a user, right? [16:42] hallo, simple problem now, I installed a new gtk theme, and it's dark. This made it so I can't read input fields in firefox because the input box and the text is dark.

[17:36] humbolt, it is in karmic [17:36] Its still 3.0.1 I think [17:37] MTeck: a stuipd question since im not familiar with installing from source . i thought it will be also not so easy. [17:37] humbolt, gave me 3.0 [17:37] how can I share a folder between users? [17:37] MTeck, sorry fell out or something, can you help me to select file, perhaps narrow it down to a copule of logs?

[17:38] MTeck: well i see many libglib here.do you remember what the configure log told me to delete? [17:39] oh cool, i didnt know about that... [17:39] does anyone here use truetype fonts on Jaunty [17:39] @MTeck (and all) I think it may be because I'm using likewise to have my machine in a windows machine. I'll have a hunt around.

[17:50] Michalxo: my problem was that in inadvertently selected all "packages not installed" to be installed, then presssed 'g'.. not sure what apt-get remove will help with there [17:51] MTeck, alright, think it was something due to graphics, cause it freesed by flashing firefox from screen one, when i was in terminal in screen 3, then i pressed window selector to choose screen one, and it freesed while changing window, in the middle of a cube roation, i saw "pixels" discolored and stufff, then i restarted [17:51] DJones > thanks bro ...I did this ..changing the pager server ...solved some issues regarding the connection between pidgin and yahoo .... [17:51] is Ubuntu only for newbie ? i mean is there's anything that a expert would want to do and is not available in Ubuntu ??

[17:56] while trying to install jaunty on my laptop, the process stops because af a partitionning error, i restart the machine, but the live cd wont load, and i have error messages =( [17:56] is there a way mabye to get ride of the user name and passwortd thing [17:56] hmm [17:56] so there is not really a possibility to do that? [17:56] ok - I'm going to try to tackle it [17:56] <__theIdiotBox> klenz87, why do u want it that way? [17:56] <__theIdiotBox> mokafolio, i'm afraid not [17:56] __theIdiotBox: want what? [17:56] __theIdiotBox: i want to share my media files between 2 ubuntu computeres [17:56] JaneDoe: I can't remember the name of it [17:57] what a shame, how can a company have a patent on aliasing fonts :) [17:57] parapanghelescu: I don't use yahoo messenger, so other having read that theres problems and being aware of that factoid, I haven't got any experience with it [17:57] <__theIdiotBox> klenz87, okey....how do share now? and what do want to do [17:57] can i install jaunty from the iso file without burning to a cd? how? [17:57] <__theIdiotBox> sarthorks, yep provided u already have linux on ur box [17:57] sarthorks: maybe if you do a CDFS partiton or something with the ISO contents [17:57] well im sharing using smb i believe via right clicking on the folder and going to sharing options and checking the three boxes [17:58] sarthorks: and you can run an ISO in a virtual machine, but yeah that's not a real proper install [17:58] __theIdiotBox: but i cant access my external usb drive that is shared on my other desktop it says unable to mount windows share [17:58] mokafolio: i'm not sure what you are looking for, but the newer nvidia drivers can hardware accelerate font anti-aliasing [17:58] _theidiotbox, i do. please tell me! i used : sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop packages/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso /media/disk [17:58] but when i restart, i dont get any boot options. [17:58] after I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 I cant get my wifi activated.

I heard there is a fix released but I dont know how to install it. Could anyone help me out please? [18:31] dele [18:31] hi [18:31] groza [18:31] deele:in what browser it opens? [18:31] LamaZ: install the ppa for the later kernel [18:31] LamaZ: that will hopefuly help [18:31] groza, in Ubuntus Firefox [18:31] sebsebseb: How would I do that exactly? [18:31] deele:then what is the problem [18:32] groza, you know difference between Ubuntu Firefox and Mozilla Firefox? [18:32] LamaZ: google for 2.6.30 ppa or some such, it will be on luanchpad, also check out the Ext4 stuff in the 9.04 release notes [18:32] !notes | LamaZ [18:32] LamaZ: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [18:32] enter ubuntu firefox and search for default browser option and uncheck it [18:32] salut [18:33] :sebsebseb: I checked out the releases notes but didnt find a fix. I'l google that kernel patch, thanks. [18:33] LamaZ: it's, because of things like that, why some people think it's not stable enough in 9.04, that and the kernel it has, however it will be nice and stable and default for Ubuntu 9.10 [18:33] claude: fr? [18:33] LamaZ: it's not a patch, it's a later kernel [18:33] sebsebseb: ext4 is fine here in karmic :D [18:33] groza, one is created specially for Ubuntu as paralell project, another is shipped from Mozilla, default is already set\ [18:33] !fr | claude [18:33] claude: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[18:35] deele : YES [18:35] Mestora: hmm, i'm pretty much out of ideas, sounds like it should be working... [18:35] My ubuntu box can talk to both eth0 and eth1 networks fine, it's just they won't talk to each other.

[18:35] LamaZ: well the ppa you get is on luanchpad [18:35] or should be [18:35] deany, new mail icon? what is that [18:35] Mestora: you need to use bridge-utils [18:35] Deele:did u tried to restart the browsers? [18:36] groza, yes :P [18:36] Deele:delete one browser [18:36] Berzerker, sorry, wrong one... there was one I used, cant remember its name [18:36] groza, huh, how? wont it drop out error? [18:36] trism: That's not enough because b44 is the driver for the wired card, so I can't just blacklist that. But if the modules are unloaded and reloaded in a different order, like in that blog post, then it works. I am very glad I managed to get it working too. [18:36] Mestora: actually, one last thought - try sudo iptables -L FORWARD [18:36] Mestora: make sure the default policy is ACCEPT [18:36] remove ubuntu firefox and install mozzila firefox [18:37] deele:it shouldnt [18:37] David-T: I did that. I also flushed it so it was default accept and no rules. [18:37] deany, it's not alltray, is it? [18:37] groza, maybe there is place, where I can choose what application to open http links?

[18:38] Mestora: then i'm definitely stumped... you could try adding logging entries to the iptables input/forward/output tables to see where the packets are going... [18:38] deele:if ubuntu firefox and mozzila firefx are 2 separate browsers then removing one should fix the problem [18:38] David-T: I think I'll try that. [18:38] brb [18:39] Mestora: then use: sudo route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0; sudo route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1 [18:40] Berzerker, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2831 [18:40] ActionParnsip: Both routing entries are already setup.

[18:58] bigDaddy: I had that problem on this laptop, I had to set UseBIOS to false in xorg.conf to fix it, but yours could be a completely different problem [18:59] kvasirme: then you may need to set it as always on in the bios [18:59] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, how exactly you are transfering those files, btw? [18:59] copy/paste [18:59] kvasirme: if its a laptop, you can websearch the make and model to maybe find a guide [18:59] <__theIdiotBox> gabriel__, this one is for you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [18:59] alanpan, did you updated system? [18:59] no action, i've changed bios, there arent options about it in bios. i was searching somethings when this problem is arrived... [18:59] it is 7.04 [18:59] 8.04 [19:00] so it's up to date, right? [19:00] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, don't do that do it from command line and make the cp command follow the symlinks so as to take care of those files as well [19:00] sry for my bad english, im italian.... i'ven't changed anything before the wifi stops...

[19:01] Thanks a lot for the help [19:01] <__theIdiotBox> kvasirme, restart the network manager [19:01] kvasirme: check allonline docs for your make / model, There may be a guide [19:01] aqqd:what is the problem [19:01] aqqd, there has to be some tweaks for it ;) [19:01] kvasirme: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [19:01] whats the proper syntax for update all?

[19:07] as per the link provided [19:08] groza: yes i am able to underclock using Rightmark to 800 Mhz @ 0.67V in windows .. but i think the gateway bios / processor does not do it automatically [19:09] aqqd: why do you want to do that? [19:09] groza: better battery life? [19:09] __theIdiotBox: well it's not a samba question really, my question is basically that the folder im trying to copy to requires a / before it [19:10] aqqd:i thought you use desktop [19:10] groza: i mentioned it was a gateway sub notebook [19:10] groza, I deleted it, now, it opens cliked links in new window, not a new tab, in already opened... [19:10] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, then may be you need to add sudo for taking care of permission issues, right? [19:11] __theIdiotBox: Is that a permissions isssue though? I don't think it is the permissions are 777 .. i just wouldn't know how to write the path to it [19:11] <__theIdiotBox> CodeRed, is that ok, or still stuck? [19:11] deele :in the right browser?

[19:28] __theIdiotBox: done this and found out something on the net except that they say if kernel bigger then 2.6 I should use the driver on the kernel ...which is not working :d [19:28] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, if you can't do that be more specific and let me google it [19:29] vavar: You might try using :set nocompatible, in case that's vim in compat mode. [19:29] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, oops [19:29] * erUSUL vi only has to modes one in which it beeps and one in which it does not [19:29] two* [19:29] erUSUL: so, what I should do now? [19:30] grawity: well, itś the version that came with ubuntu.. so it should be vim rightht.. the version tells: VIM - Vi IMproved 7.1 [19:30] <__theIdiotBox> vavar, i better suggest you install vim.... [19:30] erUSUL: reinstall driver? [19:30] theidiotBox: http://www.pharscape.org/hso.html [19:30] Deele: reinstall the driver? or find out what may have messed ther install... kernel update recently? [19:30] __theIdiotBox: it is vim already isnt it? [19:30] hey guys. is it a problem to use ext4 under jaunty? [19:30] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, okey wait a min [19:30] vavar: It might be in compatibility mode - did you try the command I gave? [19:30] <__theIdiotBox> vavar, yeh the version details says that [19:30] vavar: Or, just install vim-full and be done with it. [19:31] grawity: i will try it [19:31] hey guys. is it a problem to use ext4 under jaunty? [19:31] erUSUL: that "stupid" nvidia driver did something with kernel update, cause it could not connect to its ftp address, so it used something that he had, compiled for my system specially and tried to use that (when I tried setting up 185 version), that did not worked (started low graphics mode and error) [19:32] q0s: shouldn't be [19:32] erUSUL: so I reset back to back up, and set up back 180 driver [19:32] vavar: remember the version of vim that ships with ubuntu is crippled (although the arrow keys _should_ work). Install vim-full or vim-gnome [19:32] Deele: so you installed it with the package from nvidia.com ? [19:32] erUSUL, heard of stability problems. thats the reason why i first comes with karmic as default. [19:32] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, whats the kernel version you're having? it says the driver is working fine for 2.6.27 [19:32] erUSUL: yes, tried to use their instructions... eaven turned off graphics engine :P [19:33] q0s: is somewhat new. if you do not want risks use ext3 [19:33] erUSUL: from alt f1 [19:33] varar: or just get used to hjkl [19:33] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, btw, as a last resort you have to compile it from source..did you try that ? [19:33] __theIdiotBox: 2.6.28-15 [19:33] Anyone can tell me where does libtool search for libs? I though it was /etc/ld.so.conf but everythign seems right there.. it search libstdc++.la in a path of my crosstool tests that shouldn't exist anymore [19:33] Deele: ok; so now you have installed both versions ? the one from repos and the one from nvidia.com ? [19:33] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, in that case may be we need to compile it from source right? [19:33] erUSUL, would it help to install the newest karmic kernel? [19:33] __theIdiotBox: wasn't sure if I'm not going to screw something else :d so I didn't [19:34] if i generated a debian package (somehow) would it work reliably in debian also? [19:34] grawity: thank you. i asked that question on #vim once and noone had an answer.. [19:34] q0s: i dunno really [19:34] racecar56, imo yes, bu I am not an expert [19:35] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, we're going to compile just that module only, do you have other dependencies on that which might break if there are some issues during compilation? [19:35] Michalxo: k [19:35] erUSUL: I dont know unix, I am windows guy :D I dont know how are drivers managed in ubuntu... Maybe it is still in there... I dont know... In hardware drivers manager, it only shows version 173 and 180 (with recommended tag) [19:36] erUSUL: and that 180 is with green circle and activated [19:36] __theIdiotBox > well ...you tell me :d should I try this or not ? could it be more damaging for the network manager for example ???? [19:36] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, the links you gave me talks about compiling from src in depth...so i think you can easily follow that, right? [19:36] __theIdiotBox : yeap I can follow .... [19:37] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, its segregated...no impact on others..try it out...it shud work...but make sure you follow the steps religiously [19:37] __theIdiotBox : only that I wanted to check that first ....and not to jump on the process [19:37] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, coool...go for it... [19:39] How do i change this to just usr -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95 2009-01-16 12:46 wing-personal [19:39] How do I check my internal IP? [19:39] RPG_Master: use ifconfig [19:39] <__theIdiotBox> perlsyntax, you are not clear? do you want to change the permission? or the owner? [19:40] <__theIdiotBox> RPG_Master, use ifconfig utility [19:40] __theIdiotBox: I am newbie, sorry for answering :) === techp is now known as purvesh [19:40] i want to change the persmission to just usr that it so it wil not mess up my ubuntu. [19:40] hello [19:40] hi [19:41] so it's the inet addr [19:41] ? [19:41] perlsyntax, sudo chmod 751 [19:41] <__theIdiotBox> Deele, i think your answer is same....no probs ... [19:41] thanks [19:41] any 1 know abt drupal.........? ,purvesh [19:41] in opera, on some pages the fonts are too big. I tried changing the default font for opera and the size but it doesn't really help (the fonts still remain too big). Also changing the dpi value don't seem to do anything to that... [19:42] EvaLuaTe: you might have better luck asking on OperaNet [19:42] <__theIdiotBox> parapan, still stuck? ....i hope not....gotta go...c ya [19:42] RPG_Master: try seraching in returned answer a line with eth0 (if you are using cable) or wlan0 (if you are using wireless) and inet addr, but that will help only if you are connected directly to internet (not with router) [19:43] purvesh, does apt-cache show drupal6 say you have it in the repos? [19:43] mneptok: well, i also used another linux distro before, with the same opera version, and the fonts looked perfect there. that's why i thought i'd ask in here first... === swoody_ is now known as swoody [19:43] erUSUL: are you still here? [19:43] thanks [19:43] <__theIdiotBox> quit [19:43] <__theIdiotBox> ooops [19:43] EvaLuaTe: you're always welcome to ask here [19:44] bucky, i stuck at /localhost/drupal6.13/ [19:44] EvaLuaTe: microsoft fonts maybe? :f [19:44] bucky, at drupal installation ...

[19:47] Deele: i checked. but did you removed the drivers installed with the nvidia.com pkg ? [19:48] EvaLuaTe: msttcorefonts :F [19:48] erUSUL: I should? Ok, how it's done? [19:48] DaZ-: ok, i'll try to install that. thanks for now :) [19:49] Deele: i think you have to pass the --remove option to the package [19:49] wow skype just added pulseaudio support [19:49] hello all. what is the difference between "!" and "*" in the /etc/shadow file in the place where the hash normally is? [19:49] erUSUL: =-O [19:50] Can I copy "~/.mozilla/firefox/kmxur05t.default/Cache" to a home folder of new Ubuntu system and use cached pages, providing that "kmxur05t.default" wil be changed to the prooper directory name?

[19:51] DaZ-: omg, that seems to have solved the problem. thank you so very much <3 [19:51] genii: what do you notice about that in reality? [19:51] Deele: sudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2.run --remove [19:51] erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/261080/ [19:52] Kuifje111: That if you try to su to an explicitly disabled account you get booted back out [19:52] according to http://is.gd/2EiXE a fix for a problem I'm having is "echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend". will this work in a chrooted enviroment with sys properly mounted after chroot`ing? [19:52] Deele: is --uninstall [19:52] Lunis: chroot only affects the root directory. It doesn't affect device access or anything else. So I think it should work. [19:53] genii: all right, thanks. that is what I wanted to know! Is it possible that an user somehow gets disabled? I think that happened with one of my accounts [19:54] erUSUL: it shows that annoying message again: "WARNING: Your driver installation has been altered since it was initially installed; this may happen, for example, if you have since installed the NVIDIA driver through a mechanism other than nvidia-installer (such as your distribution's native package management system). nvidia-installer will attempt to uninstall as best it can. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. OK" [19:54] Deele: skip it [19:56] erUSUL: it made something like "graphics engine restart"? [19:56] erUSUL: and now, I lost all my opened windows :D [19:56] another question: is it possible to boot into a system from a virtualbox? i.e. set up a virtualbox for ubuntu, then point it to my usb hard drive where ubuntu's already installed? [19:56] Deele: now i would reinstall the driver offered in System>Admin>hard. drivers [19:57] is there away to change back to root for permisson? [19:57] erUSUL: that includes "Remove" and "Activate"? [19:57] Lunis: Tu Latvietis? :) [19:58] Deele, huh? [19:58] Deele: then i would remove it and then activate it again. to be safe [19:58] erUSUL: use one some other package --remove function? [19:58] on* [19:58] Deele: no the options offered by the gui [19:58] Lunis: never mind :) Your nickname just looks like you would be from my country :P [19:59] erUSUL: so, just "Remove"'button? [19:59] Deele: yes then activate it again [19:59] erUSUL: I hope, no "mini restart" again [19:59] Lunis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664692 seems to go over what you want [19:59] Deele: could be [20:00] Deele: i have to go for a while [20:00] Deele: good luck [20:00] erUSUL: :( [20:00] erUSUL: thanks... sadly, I wanted some more support, but I think, its ok :P Bye!

[20:02] I am having a problem with disc space [20:02] erUSUL: ok, it asks for restart... [20:02] could somebody help me to make my samsung mp3 player compatible with ubuntu? At least able to put music in it... please [20:02] Kuifje111: Apologies on lag. I'm currently at work. It's conceivable but unlikely a regular user account got disabled. If your current user has sudo rights you can set a password for the disabled user with something like: sudo passwd disabled-username-here [20:03] genii: ok, thanks. === simon__ is now known as mittinatten [20:03] grampajoe, for net book?

I am logged in as "root" and su into an user like this: "su test", then I execute "/etc/init.d/daemon start", and it asks me for a password!

Under Windows however, the display doesn't seem as sharp as it was when I had integrated graphics. The fonts just aren't as crisp, and appear a little rough around the edges. Any reason why? [20:08] Well, I've had a small breakthrough on my acpi issue. How exactly does linux affect bios settings? What program can set bios settings? [20:08] bucky: It's an HP Pavillion TX2500 [20:08] SealedWithAKiss: bad Windows driver? [20:08] mneptok: ah, all right! but when I enter my root password, it says wrong password. why does it ask for a password? [20:08] SealedWithAKiss: join #windows [20:08] Kuifje111: 'su test' asks for the password of user 'test'. [20:08] Kuifje111: why not just use sudo like you are supposed to? [20:09] Kuifje111: first create a root passwd > sudo passwd root [20:09] llutz, okie doke. [20:09] grawity: it is not like that. I su into a user with root, everything fine. then I execute that command and it begins to ask for a password.. [20:09] Kuifje111: ignore apisd. do NOT set a root password. [20:09] Kuifje111: just use sudo. [20:09] I have already set a root password!! [20:09] I never use sudo. [20:09] Kuifje111: ok [20:09] mneptok: Why not set a root pass? It isn't as if it automatically removes sudo or anything. [20:10] grawity: it's a security risk [20:10] Woahhh! My keys are mixed up man! When I press hash it does a backslash, never had this happen before. When I press backslash a < comes up. Any idea why? [20:10] I know it is, but its not related to my problem here [20:10] anyone in here use DockBarX ? I'm trying to combine tasks and launchers, similar to how the windows 7 taskbar works and I can't figure out how to do it [20:10] mneptok: Umm. Explain? [20:10] could be used for ssh brute force, if the root user is enabled. [20:11] grawity: there is one account i know exists on every Unix box everywhere. and it's an account that gives me god-like powers. so guess which account i'll taget a brute force attack at?

[20:16] det: ya, if there's another way i'd be open to it [20:16] tried copying over a boot disk image, but dunno how to put grub on it [20:16] clarification: tried unetbootin entire livecd, then tried just a boot disk [20:17] Anyone know how to set up surround sound?

[20:20] BIOS does not support USB boot, just USB drives [20:20] WICD question: anyone know how well it deals with hidden networks? I'm using network-manager atm and its extremely difficult with hidden networks [20:20] Basil: for the laptop I'm using, I just ripped out the hd and put it in an enclosure and installed to that [20:20] trism: how? im tryin to do that with unetbootin but not working [20:20] Basil: Ubuntu/Debian has a tool 'debootstrap'. [20:20] earthling, maybe .config/autostart [20:20] earthling, there's a file... you're gonna love this [20:21] Basil: just a normal ubuntu command line install, just using the enclosed hd as a partition [20:21] Deele, i dont have a autostart file there... what do i do.. is there something like inittab of redhat ?? ,bucky [20:21] trism: won't that install it assuming the host PC's chipset and hardware? [20:21] Basil: although, all you really have to do is get grub on the hard drive and copy a kernel image over and you can boot from usb [20:21] earthling: hmm, try using sudo nautilus :P [20:22] earthling, with no desktop? [20:22] Can anyone tell me how to configure surround sound using alsa? [20:22] Basil: it will leave you with some incorrect stuff like fstab that you'll need to fix [20:22] cool ignoring me [20:22] trism: how do i install grub easily to the HDD? (say from Ubuntu on the host PC) [20:22] The people in the Windows channel are utterly useless.

I have added the hardy repositories to sources.list so synaptics can see 5.8.8-12 but it's now about to remove a TON of packages when I attempt to force version for perl5.8.8-12. Is there a better way to downgrade perl? [20:23] Basil: you can use the grub shell or grub-install to do it [20:23] earthling, i think you want to put a start up script in /etc/init [20:23] Deele, bucky i am on 9.04 desktop .. no file in either root or /home/mylogin [20:23] mneptok, I don't think it's a bad driver.

Also, it's easier to keep track of your question if you ask it all on one line [20:26] so basically I can't download mails from that server :( [20:26] earthling, navigate to ~/.config/autostart and look at the others there for a template on how to make one [20:27] earthling, and make sure X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true is there [20:27] Hmm should i try reinstall???

[20:28] I mean: if I delete it there would be an "id" missing [20:28] how can i test the stereo channel orientation of my sound? [20:29] can anyone help with internal mic on my HP MINI [20:29] Hmm. I don't have Thunderbird installed at the moment :\ === giuppy_ is now known as giuppy [20:29] g0th: Would it work to just create a new, clean profile? [20:29] originally I used mutt [20:29] grawity, hmm well I already spent about 2 hours [20:29] but that would work I suppose [20:29] but what if something similar happens in the future? [20:29] I dont want to start from the beginning each time [20:30] * grawity actually switched to the opposite direction, from thunderbird to fetchmail+mutt. [20:30] is it a bug or did I missunderstand something [20:30] g0th: You could file it as a bug (since it seems like it may be) and someone will take a look at t. === mue_ is now known as mue [20:30] !bugs | g0th [20:30] g0th: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [20:30] I wanted a mail system that is very common, ie. available at several places [20:30] Hi all [20:30] Hi all. Does anyone have experience with downgrading packages such as perl on ubuntu? [20:31] * grawity really has to go now :[ [20:31] I know that for getting a lot of info about my display I should use the "xdpyinfo" command, though how can I output only my screen dimension (resolution)? [20:31] Flannel: I dont think it is an ubuntu issue, but I was asked to ask in this channel, I didnt find a thunderbird channel [20:31] Deele, deany thanks i was looking for something like that link .. thanks.. actaully was a little bumoed to not find the rc.local file .. but i will try that post and see if it getst the work done.. thanks a load [20:31] g0th: #thunderbird on irc.mozilla.org [20:31] thanks [20:31] hdon: double click on the speaker icon which brings up the volume control, turn one channel down-see if it's the correct one [20:31] earthling: no problem, I am new to unix but I am veteran internet searcher :D [20:32] is there a support place for usenet /news server setup ? [20:32] HOW DOES ONE GET HELP HERE ? [20:33] !ask | dmitrynt [20:33] dmitrynt: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:33] dmitrynt: just say your question :) [20:33] mm, I like my way better :) [20:33] MY INTERNAL microphone does not work [20:33] can anyone help with internal mic on my HP MINI [20:33] i use 9.04 [20:33] x404x: here's as good a place as any I'd guess. What's your problem? [20:33] dmitrynt, is the mic vol turned up in alsamixer? [20:33] dmitrynt: ask for help. If someone knows the answer they'll probably answer [20:34] recording is all mutes [20:34] muted [20:34] and i cant unmute it [20:34] In nvidia-settings->OpenGL/GLX Information should I get Direct Rendering No for a 6200? [20:35] dmitrynt, http://blog.beuchelt.org/2009/06/19/Ubuntu+904+Jaunty+Netbook+Remix+On+HP+Mini+1010nr.aspx [20:35] im struggling with all the settings losher, and also i got a mail from the package maintainers that inn 2.5.0 that i try to install does not support separate headers and bodies which even leafnode supports, unfortunately leafnode does not support cnfs (large groups storage) [20:35] dmitrynt: I'm on 8.04 but double clicking the speaker icon brings up the controls [20:36] so basically i want an easy to install news server that can filter spam by subject topic lines (preferably before downloading) and can host headers only and also support very large newsgroups [20:37] x404x: sorry, you're *way* beyond my ability to help... [20:37] hehe hence the need for advanced news support ;=) [20:37] hehe [20:38] Does linux offer daily backups or anything? [20:38] err [20:38] ubuntu i mean [20:38] CodeRed: Just back up your system [20:38] CodeRed: if you dont set anything special, then no [20:38] codered use a cron job daily and rsync ? [20:38] Is there an easy way to set up like daily backups? [20:38] use man to read about them [20:39] hi i need a sound capture program... i have streamripper allready but now i need to record a stream from like myspace... any ideas ? Hi-Q Recorder or Sound Capture [20:39] is rsync included on ubuntu or is it something that must be downloaded? [20:39] x404x, apt-cache show papercut that's the only server in the repos [20:39] but couldnt find that in the resps.. [20:39] Someone help me please. apt-get asked me to 'dpkg --configure -a', and when i issue it, i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/260602/. Any ideas on the problem? [20:40] So no one here has experience with major downrevs of packages on ubuntu? How about turning a Jaunty install into a Hardy install? Possible or is it better to start again from scratch? [20:40] Deele, deany thanks people.. added the required script to the the rc.local on the /etc/init.d and its working like charm .. thanks .. [20:40] it would be nice when you can install ubuntu on a box without a monitor [20:40] what do you mean bucky ? there is lots of news servers in the ubuntu repos, inn. inn2, leafnode , cnews to name some [20:40] earthling: ;) [20:40] CodeRed: I have rsync installed by default [20:40] some basic others advanced, none sadly with good dox as to what features they offer [20:41] Deele: ok, now my other question is does ubuntu allow for use of external hard drives? [20:41] NatF: It won't work if lots of packages need the higher version (which is the case, since many packages will be removed) but that doesn't mean it can't be done in other ways. Why do you need 5.8 again? [20:41] lol hi [20:41] CodeRed: I think, OF COURSE [20:41] NatF: downgrading is explicitly not supported. You're supposed to have backed up your system before upgrading if you want to revert it. Otherwise, you need to do from-scratch install to downgrade, just as you suspected. [20:42] Are there any problems using a wireless keyboard and mouse on ubuntu 9.04? [20:42] Deele: Ok, that's good, and im assuming you can use rsync to do a backup onto that external drive? [20:42] CodeRed: rsync is a program that allows files to be copied to and from remote machines in much the same way as rcp. It has many more options than rcp, and uses the rsync remote-update protocol to greatly speed up file transfers when the destination file already exists. [20:42] i need a name of tool that can record music from myspace or another streaming audio website that dosen't have a download option or streamin solution for external players... any ideas? [20:42] losher: A specific set of perl modules require 5.8, or at least work with 5.8 and don't work with 5.10. They are fairly specialized packages such as perl-verilog and perl-systemc [20:42] x404x: yes, no shortage of choices. What are your requirements btw? === Ubuntu is now known as X-Seti2 [20:43] CodeRed: that does not sound like ordinary backup application [20:43] kri: audacity - record [20:43] NatF: If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, you may be able to get them both installed [20:43] HobbleAlong: thanks. does it record in mp3 right on? [20:43] support for large groups (more than 32.000 headers) which rules out tradspool, only store spamfiltered headers, the bodies i get from another server [20:44] Hello, how can i install new icons themes on my system? [20:44] Hi all. Just wondering if there are any generally known problems using a wireless keyboard and mouse in Ubuntu 9.04. If so, are there any suggestions on which brand to buy? [20:44] some groups i want to read contains the levels of spam to overload my readers ;( [20:44] Is this any help? You've probably already seen it: http://www.newsreaders.com/unix/servers.html [20:44] Flannel: I've got 5.8.9 installed from a .deb package in /opt/perl but the perl scripts related to those packages have /usr/bin/perl hard coded which is perl5.10 [20:45] guys, this post here suggests that there's no solution to this problem, and i should reinstall ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7640460. Any ideas that can make me avoid reinstalling ??? [20:45] kri: I think so, but have never used it that way. Did that kind of thing in windoze when I was dumb enough to use it [20:45] anyone? Hi all. Just wondering if there are any generally known problems using a wireless keyboard and mouse in Ubuntu 9.04. If so, are there any suggestions on which brand to buy? [20:45] !samba [20:45] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [20:45] bucky, thanks that link helped [20:45] NatF: the programmer should be shot. Might be easiest to edit the scripts to use /usr/bin/perl5.8 [20:45] !rsync [20:45] rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [20:46] Hey everyone - I'm trying to run a webserver on my Linode using Ubuntu 9.04. I've got the DNS setup and Apache configured to a vhost for my domain, and I want it set to redirect domain.com to www.domain.com. When I do a rewrite on the Apache config to do the 301 for domain.com to www.domain.com, it puts me in an infinite redirect loop. Thoughts? [20:46] NatF: You can dpkg divert to move /usr/bin/perl away to maybe /usr/bin/perl10 or something, and then symlink /usr/bin/perl to 5.8 (no idea what other side effects this will have, on your Jaunty stuff that uses perl) [20:46] jer_: I've used a microsoft bluetooth mouse model 5000 with xubuntu no problem [20:47] jer_: no problems, most USB stuff just works [20:47] NatF, thanks. Do I need to use bluetooth then, oe will Logitec or MS do the trick? [20:47] NatF: Flannel: that's radical enough to warrant testing out in vmware before you go to production... [20:47] thanx losher. as you see the choices are many and none tell what features they support, looks like i have to install it to see if it will do what i want. leafnode is too basic for my needs and even inn2 seems to lack some important features. maybe ill try diablo next [20:47] kri: audacity will do this ,but you will have to run it through jack (qjackctl) and also have jack-pulse modules installed..if you want to go this way i can help, put it like this i canm record anything i can hear on my speakers [20:48] losher: Well, it's less radical than just installing the 5.8 package from hardy and removing the one from jaunty. And it is reversible. [20:48] well nobody said news was easy ;=) [20:48] guys, is there a way to reinstall Ubuntu in a fixing mode, i don't want to lose all the programs i installed. Ideas? [20:48] losher: yes they should, I might do that but the scripts are source controlled and other developers machines (ie the overloaded dev server I am attempting to move away from) are CentOS machines without this problem and I can't break them. [20:48] jer_: bluetooth should work, no idea about other wireless interfaces [20:48] Thanks NateF [20:48] losher: good idea [20:48] !bridge [20:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about bridge [20:48] Thanks NatF [20:49] üdv [20:49] maybe i can use several servers ? if i use leafnode as a transit server and inn2 to store it ? then leaf can filter out the headers and inn2 filters the spam and stores it [20:49] hey guys. i just upgraded Firefox to 3.5.4pre and am suddenly only able to run via sudo. obviously not optimal, anybody know a fix for this? [20:49] wait, wrong channel, sorry [20:49] NatF: if centos is known to not have this problem, I'd stick with it. Ubuntu doesn't have much that you can't find on Centos... [20:49] or maybe even rewrite the source for inn2 to support separate headers hm [20:49] losher: Flannel: thanks, I've got some more ideas to work on now. === janne is now known as Skiessi === ydorg is now known as grody [20:50] i am planning to buy a HP Probook.

I chose to install grub on this disk, but at boot grub doesn't show up... I used the BIOS boot menu to select the right HDD. Even a manual reinstallation of grub on the disk doesn't help. Any ideas? [20:50] x404x: considered outsourcing the whole thing? Might be cheaper & much less maintenance/hassle in the long run...

[20:57] x404x: text news doesn't take a lot of storage, pron or other video; that;s different [20:57] x404x: far easier & cheaper to just store everything, spam and all, than pay anyone, even 3rd. worlders, to wade through and try & eliminate it. But I thought there were providers who claimed to try & de-spam your feed before you get it. But why bother cacheing locally? Just access your provider... [20:59] mikc: probably the drive failing.

I can hear it, and see it when I'm dragging the window, but otherwise it's a black screen. Anyone have any ideas? [21:29] DJNoMaD, another one you can try is tint2 which needs a lot of configuring but puts out some very pretty eye candy [21:29] but just connect to unsecure wifi [21:30] DJNoMaD: so your panel itself is on the right/left side of the screen then? [21:30] treble54, no it is horizontal along the bottom [21:30] DJNoMaD: ok I'm confused then, is your panel larger than 23 pixels ?

[21:35] cmp: pretty much anything you want to install you can do by going to system -> administration -> synaptic package manager and clicking the checkbox for the thing you want and then clicking the Apply button [21:36] AvonGenesis, i think pulse is more of a interpreter for applications where alsa is the actual sound app [21:36] will an .ISO image of 718mb work when burned to a DVD?

[23:18] nannes: alien can be used to install rpm's on ubuntu.. but it's not recommended.. it will probably mess things up more than compiling from source will [23:18] DjNoMad.. by default the port that below 1024 need a root to open it <<,but how? [23:18] !alien | nannes [23:18] nannes: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [23:18] whew I was worried when it said it was shutting down the net in terminal lol [23:19] http://pastebin.com/m6512b544 [23:19] mashakl: sudo will get you root [23:19] What do I do about this? [23:19] now I am at the web browser,I am good with firefox so its gravy now lol [23:19] DJNoMaD: awesome. have fun. [23:19] haha, I love people who come in here and complain about ubuntu. It's not designed for people who don't know what they are doing. If you know what you are doing and can set it up, It's so much better then winblows and a hell of a lot more stable [23:19] dverweire :I know that [23:19] dverweire : how to open a port in linux? [23:19] mashakl: oh, so you need to know how to specificall open the port. is the service running that uses that port? [23:20] its crazy how you can put lipstick on a pig and I dont think about bacon ,I see a woman lol [23:20] lol [23:20] Slart && bucky: ehm.... I know what alien and rpms are!! ;) Simply I didn't find a name that tells appart the two things! [23:20] dverweire : yes [23:20] Does Magic Jack work with Ubuntu? [23:20] mashakl: what firewall package are you using? [23:21] kk swat is asking for a username and a password ...do I use my creditials or make up new ones [23:21] Any advice? [23:21] DJNoMaD: try yours [23:21] hey guys.. just installed Jaunty and skype for some reason is closing down by itself.. anyone else getting this and is there a fix yet? [23:21] lol magic jack? you didn't buy that crap from that infomercial did you!? [23:21] Gouda: I understand - but still your rant is off topic :_) [23:21] dverweire : i got firestarter ,,,but i didnt run it yet [23:21] Bookman, magic jack website should tell you requirements === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [23:22] Not offtopic [23:22] stefg this is a load of bull, operating systems are designed to work with hardware, hardware is not designed to work with operating systems i'm going back to windows. [23:22] this is why I said that [23:22] nannes: if I understand things it's not the fact that it's an .rpm package that makes it bad to use it on ubuntu.. it's that the .rpm package probably isn't built for ubuntu that is bad.. (since anyone making a package for ubuntu would use a .deb instead) [23:22] how many years is common to learn the basic ubuntu commands ? [23:22] lmao.. [23:22] Linux is the sheezy.. [23:22] nannes: sorry about the long explanation =) [23:22] just give it a chance and you'll love it.. trust me. ;) [23:22] DJNoMaD: If I had to rely on manufacturers sites for compatibility information, I would not be able to use anything with Linux. [23:22] dverweire, can I have your username and pass? mine didn't work [23:22] DJNoMaD: lol. mine won't help. i promise you that. [23:23] Yeah, it just takes awhile to learn. It's not so much as point and click as windows but once you learn it, it's very powerful and hard to go back to windblows [23:23] DjNoMad : lol [23:23] Anyone..? [23:23] dverweire, I was just kidding it worked [23:23] DJNoMaD: :) you made me laugh. [23:23] x404x: it would depend on how much you use it.. I would say a couple of months to get the hang of the basic stuff.. faster if you use it more often.. slower if you rarely open a terminal [23:23] Gouda, my opinion as well. ;) [23:23] Slart: sorry???! I should be grateful to you because you're only listening to me!! :) [23:23] so, anyone on the Skype thing?? [23:23] I prefer to do things by CLI [23:23] I'm an old DOS geek [23:23] dverweire : I'm here [23:24] cablguy i'm on skype [23:24] Gouda, what is CLI ? [23:24] Gouda: right there with you :D [23:24] Goauda: can i run a vb6 prog on dos? [23:24] Command Line Interface [23:24] x404x: spending time in this channel also helps.. lots of good advice being thrown around in here.. hopefully something sticks =) [23:24] kk thanks [23:24] and setting up news servers, nas, intelligent ai firewalls and email servers ? 10 lifetimes or so abouts ? ;=) [23:24] I am part near genious being in the presence of ya'll [23:24] visual basic 6 program??

[23:25] cablguy nope, mine is working properly [23:25] google how to open a port in linux [23:25] That's what I do usually whenver I try to find an answer [23:25] mashakl: did you run firestarter? [23:25] mashakl: ports are not closed in ubntu by default. unless you set up a firewall [23:25] Gouda, you'll love Linux once you get used to it.. It's great!! and open source and FREE.. You really can't go wrong. [23:25] EraserHead, Hmmmmmm [23:25] dverweire : no [23:25] http://pastebin.com/m6512b544 [23:25] What do I do about this? [23:25] Yeah I already love it cableguy. When I was in the USAF, I had a redhat linux box setup running apache, samba and ftp [23:25] mashakl: if you need to, from consle run sudo firestarter, there is a startup wizard [23:26] I am just now getting the motivation back up to learn it again [23:26] Any APT pros? [23:26] !ot > Gouda [23:26] Gouda, please see my private message [23:26] My skills are rusty as hell [23:26] Anyone know their dpkg? [23:26] winbindd: not running is that critical to me networking to windblows [23:26] MindVirus: try... ask the question [23:26] Slart: I did. [23:26] a irc client whit /timer abolity in ubuntu? [23:27] dverweire , i need to open port # 81 [23:27] Many times, Slart. [23:27] hanasaki: are you working with ssh? [23:27] Slart do you have have the answers to ease my curiosity? [23:27] MindVirus: ahh.. the pastebin link.. try adding -f [23:27] mashakl, is that a im port or a mail one ? [23:27] guntbert: no [23:27] MindVirus, what exactyl ya doin? I'm not an Ubergeek yet but, I know some about aot.. [23:27] Slart: I didn't run the command, so I don't know what it is. It's from gtkorphan. [23:27] *apt [23:27] mashakl: once you go through the setup wizard, under the policy tab, you can add services under the policy tab [23:27] guntbert: its all on the same subnet and internal [23:28] cablguy: I'm removing packages that have been uninstalled but still have configuration files. [23:28] orphan.. Hmmmm [23:28] iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --sport 81 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT [23:28] that's not good.. [23:28] maybe that command [23:28] MindVirus: ok.. try running this.. "sudo apt-get install -f" [23:28] try it. might work [23:28] HEY ALL DOES FILEZILLA WORK ON 9.04 [23:28] dverweire : I'll try , dont go away [23:28] cablguy: gtkorphan is a program that finds all orphaned packages. [23:28] and if you didn't run the command.. than some else had to run it.. [23:28] mashakl: it does. loose the caps [23:28] hanasaki: what are you trying to do? [23:28] MindVirus: Yes [23:28] master_ don't scream [23:28] er, master_ [23:28] guntbert: is there some system settnig that turns off all abiilty to display from remote? [23:28] EraserHead: I didn't see your question.. can you repeat it? [23:28] hey all [23:28] The power of google PREVAILS! [23:28] cablguy: an orphaned package is a package without a parent -- that means it isn't a dependency. [23:28] !info filezilla [23:28] filezilla (source: filezilla): Port of the famous Win32 graphical FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2.1-1 (jaunty), package size 1115 kB, installed size 2860 kB [23:28] anyone know where the network notification icon is stored ? I installed the theme "mashup" and it is now hijacked to the world with a ethernet plug hole in it and I dont like it [23:29] Slart: you want me to install it? [23:29] erUSUL: what means ./config ? [23:29] master_: it seems to be available from the repos at least [23:29] guntbert: on the remote system "export DISPLAY=mydesktop:0.0" then xterm [23:29] erUSUL: terminal refuses to open [23:29] Deele: is command you have tu run [23:29] Slart i haven't done none yet, i was simply asking if you had them or not. [23:29] MindVirus, ok, well apperently u know more than me already.. so, that's about my limit.. :p [23:29] MindVirus, according to that paste you're missing stuff.. did you just go around and rm things? [23:29] i installed it but i cant connect to my site [23:29] MindVirus: no.. that command will just run through any old stuff hanging around from previous installs [23:29] cablguy: :) [23:29] hanasaki: take the easy + secure way: use ssh -X remote.host [23:29] bucky: I rm'ed old kernels, being used to Gentoo. [23:29] Deele: in the help is ./configure --with-gnutls [23:29] so, no one else havin any issues with Skype closing down by itself?? [23:30] I do not and will not use skype [23:30] MindVirus, you should always let apt do that [23:30] lol [23:30] cablguy: Skype is closed-source software. We don't like that kind. [23:30] MindVirus, now apt is confused [23:30] cablguy: nope.. sadly my skype keeps running.. not that it does me any good since I can't use it.. but no.. it doesn't shut itself down =) [23:30] does filezilla work on 9.04 [23:30] bucky: I'm well aware. [23:30] erUSUL: bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [23:30] cablguy which is your skype version? [23:30] how to log in vsftpd.I am a local user that installed and configured vsftpd [23:30] Who was asking about opening a port [23:30] bucky: I need to unconfuse apt. [23:30] Slart, I use it fine on my install... [23:30] guntbert: when I go on the net I will.. for now .. on the local box DISPLAY=:0.0 works if I type xterm.. DISPLAY=myhostname:0.0 doesn't not work [23:30] I don't have any issues with it at all.. [23:30] skype has the same agrrement that the cash for clunkers website has "we own your computer and can do whatever we want while you are connected to us" [23:31] Slart: I ran `sudo apt-get install -f` without any interesting output. [23:31] Deele: are you on the right folder ? [23:31] Gouda: mashakl was asking about opening port 81 using firestarter [23:31] hello [23:31] erUSUL: that is what I am asking :) [23:31] cablguy: just curious, do you know how to tab-complete? [23:31] I seen that about skype on glen beck,so its gotta be true ,right lol [23:31] Deele: run "pwd" [23:31] EraserHead, never mind. I think I see why now.. I'm using 2.1 BETA... :p [23:31] MindVirus: actually.. I think the easiest thing would be to reinstall that old kernel.. and just hope it's still available from the repos [23:31] Slart: it's not. [23:31] MindVirus, can you sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.24-8-generic [23:31] hi [23:31] I tried. :P [23:31] cablguy well, that explains [23:31] bucky: nope. [23:32] lol [23:32] Mashakl: you need to cd /etc/sysconfig and vi iptables and check out that file for the ports [23:32] Hmmmm sorry MindVirus not sure how to do that yet.. [23:32] erUSUL: I know, in whitch dir I am now, I need to know, from where I need to run that config [23:32] MindVirus: hmm.. hang on.. [23:32] cablguy: check this out. Type the first few letters of my name and press tab. [23:32] anyone I'm out.. thankls guys.. [23:32] HELLO [23:32] later cable [23:32] MindVirus, maybe sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-2.6.24-8-generic [23:32] Gouda, enjoy the ride.. and read lots.. ;) [23:32] anyone? [23:32] already am browsie [23:32] Goada : thnx man .. I'll try [23:32] hanasaki: I understood - if you want it easy - use ssh, the xhost thing is "a little" more complicated, because remote X sessions are disabled by default [23:32] np [23:32] Deele: from the source code directory you dl with the git command [23:32] HYBRID [23:32] MindVirus, what does uname -r say ? [23:33] 2.6.28-15-generic [23:33] MindVirus, yes, I've know about that for a while.. [23:33] guntbert: what is it that disables them [23:33] can someone guide me through ninja gainden's third level? [23:33] now,m I know wha it's calle.d. [23:33] :p [23:33] how to log in vsftpd [23:33] 0/ [23:33] cablguy: OK. That's tab completion. You can do that in the terminal too. [23:33] apparmor is hell! [23:33] :) [23:33] MindVirus, good try sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-2.6.24-8-generic [23:33] how many million man pages can the eyes handle ? [23:33] erUSUL: but Initialized empty Git repository in /etc/wine-war3/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly [23:33] cablguy: I figure you're a new Ubuntu user so you might be interested. [23:33] Deele: in step 4 --> cd ~/wine-war3 and then you have to run tools/make_requests [23:33] Deele: :| seems like the git server is busy... [23:34] bucky: dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove linux-image-2.6.24-8-generic which isn't installed. [23:34] hanasaki: several settings - I didn't try it for about 10 years - take my advice - use ssh with X forwarding [23:34] erUSUL: same as wine server [23:34] HI ANYONE IM NEW TO UBUNTU FEW QUESTIONS.... [23:34] !caps | master_ [23:34] master_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [23:34] great [23:34] MindVirus: were you having trouble with eee? [23:34] danbhfive1: YES! [23:34] MindVirus: 1000he? [23:34] ive tried to installcs3 adobe in wine no luck [23:34] danbhfive1: 1000. :( [23:34] MindVirus, what does dpkg -S /boot/System.map-2.6.24-8-generic say? [23:35] How can I take a CLI Text stream, (think for awk/sed etc etc) and capitalize it? I mean the whole word. I.e. make 'example' into 'EXAMPLE'? [23:35] I have a dumb question: How can i prompt a user for a value in a script? [23:35] bucky: not found. [23:35] master why dont you use virtual box [23:35] explain [23:35] after everything will be working [23:35] hybrid virtual box? [23:36] install virtual box [23:36] MindVirus: ah, I see (though, I thought they all had some letters, like 1000h 1000ha 1000he) I have the 1000he. I can run some tests if you like... Its been several days since I've last upgraded it [23:36] install your desired os [23:36] hybrid i shall do now [23:36] danbhfive1: what do you mean? [23:36] go to sun [23:36] and download the proper file [23:36] and install [23:36] hybrid sun? [23:36] sun microsystems [23:36] MindVirus, do you have a /boot/System.map-2.6.28-15-generic ? [23:36] add the repo, much easier in the long run. [23:37] hybrid ill do now [23:37] Lord_Devi: tr can do it fairly easily [23:37] sun.com [23:37] bucky: I do, good friend. [23:37] sun? for virtual box? [23:37] MindVirus, sudo cp /boot/System.map-2.6.28-15-generic /boot/System.map-2.6.24-8-generic and try again [23:37] virtualbox.org even [23:37] make a virtual host [23:37] im on sun [23:37] yes sun [23:37] erUSUL: Takinga look at 'man tr' here.. I don't see a mechanism with tr that lets me.. [23:37] I recently updated the drivers on my 9.04 computer with proprietary drivers, the ATI/AMD FGLRX ones. I used the apt-get command to get them, because the gui download would freeze up and hang. Now after the loading screen the monitors only show lines and static. Does anyone know how I can fix this? [23:37] hello! i'm having a little issue with my screen resolution, it's set to 1280x960@60hz (a bit straining to the eyes) but when i try to change it to 1024x768@85hz it fails... xrandr shows that option, is there any other way to change it? [23:37] should one use the ose or the other virtual box ? [23:37] err lookING at 'man tr' rather. sorry.. [23:37] sudo aa-complain /path/to/bin what does /path/to/bin mean? [23:37] DJNoMaD, other [23:38] bucky: still not found. [23:38] MindVirus, ls -l /boot/System.map-2.6.24-8-generic [23:38] aa-complain is transferring to complain mode [23:38] deany, thanks I being a ubuntu fan would choose the ose [23:38] bucky: I have 20 kernels like this. [23:38] bucky: please don't make me do this to each one. [23:38] master you want to install windows as i understood [23:38] hybrid i have many options [23:38] Lord_Devi: echo "lowercase" | tr [:lower:] [:upper:] [23:38] is it open source [23:38] DJNoMaD, good for you [23:38] MindVirus, add it up to expiriments [23:39] bucky: permissions are 644. [23:39] DJNoMaD, I want decent USB support. [23:39] erUSUL: Ah yes, thank you very much USUL [23:39] Lord_Devi: no problem [23:39] deany, bad for me cause I have no clue what a cli is and my networking aint networking lol [23:39] master http://dlc.sun.com/virtualbox/vboxdownload.html#linux [23:39] Can anyone help me out here? [23:39] DJNoMaD, seems they update the "non-free" version a lot more and a lot better imo. [23:39] DJNoMaD: a CLI is a command-line interface. [23:39] !ask | Lancen833 [23:39] Lancen833: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:40] MindVirus, you rm 'd some files and now the package manager is looking for them because it still believes it's database from when it installed those files [23:40] bucky: I know. [23:40] yup [23:40] I recently updated the drivers on my 9.04 computer with proprietary drivers, the ATI/AMD FGLRX ones. I used the apt-get command to get them, because the gui download would freeze up and hang. Now after the loading screen the monitors only show lines and static. Does anyone know how I can fix this? --copypaste from above [23:40] I rm'ed a bunch of files. [23:40] deany, I need the usb ,the only reason I want to use xp is so I can connect my cell phone [23:40] Silly me. [23:40] I'm used to doing things the hard way. [23:40] I'm not used to all this automation. [23:40] is it hard to setup ubuntu to boot 4 terminal windows 1 x11 and a diagnostic console ? [23:41] master i hope you have enough memory in your pc [23:41] hello! i'm having a little issue with my screen resolution, it's set to 1280x960@60hz (a bit straining to the eyes) but when i try to change it to 1024x768@85hz it comes up weird... xrandr shows many options including the one i desire, is there any other way to change the screen res? [23:41] guess i have to battle with grub then ? [23:41] DJNoMaD, virtualbox.org, add the repo, install virtualbox-3.0 [23:41] 404 you 404'd me withg that (cannot connect) lol [23:42] MindVirus: this article looks interesting http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/troubleshooting-debian-ubuntu-package-upgrades-removals.html [23:42] deany I shall do that [23:42] MindVirus: you'll still have to find and edit a file for each package you can't uninstall [23:42] did I ? maybe thats why i have no friends [23:42] must be my firewall [23:42] Slart: there are too many files like this. [23:42] unless anyone has a lg rumor they can connect either bluetooth or usb [23:42] I have 20 kernels. [23:43] MindVirus: oh... I'll keep looking.. see if I find anything useful [23:43] why have 20 ? I struggle enuff with 1 [23:43] how do i enable USB detection for a wireless mouse. lsusb shows the item is detected but wont run unless i restart? I am new and just trying to learn to how to get devices detected an enabled w/o restsrting. [23:44] hybrid same version in a software channel? [23:44] DJNoMaD, nope [23:44] DJNoMaD, only a SE w980 [23:45] DJNoMaD, works as a mem stick in ubuntu, to put songs to [23:45] hybrid- i am installing [23:45] Can anyone tell me how i can prompt a user for a variable value in a script? [23:45] Slart, bucky: I couldn't even dpkg --force-all --purge the package. [23:45] DJNoMaD, and also with "wammu" for managing sms etc [23:45] so i should be able to run programs or straight os [23:45] MindVirus, it hates you === Ph` is now known as Ph`AFK [23:45] bucky: I guess that is the case. Any suggestions, dude? [23:45] gtacs, what does lsmod |grep usbhid b say? [23:46] MindVirus, you can't reinstall that kernel version because this was a release upgrade right? [23:46] bucky: most likely. [23:47] bucky, i didnt try that, i just restarted, and it works now, but was j/c on avoiding the restart in the future [23:47] all will i learn all this like you guys [23:47] Is there a way to disable a driver without going into the GUI [23:47] danbhfive1: you there? [23:47] Hooooooooooow to log in my vsftpd??? [23:47] MindVirus: yeah [23:47] danbhfive1: what were you saying, man? [23:47] hybrid installed [23:47] gtacs, i just wanted to know if your driver was loaded [23:48] MindVirus: hrm, well, I was trying to find a way to help, since I have an eee myself. But I don't actually know what the problem is. I just saw you mention something about a broken kernel maybe? yesterday. [23:48] i have a question and hopefully someone may be able to help me out. every few minutes, my mouse freezes where it is and clicking doesn't do anything, etc. the computer is not frozen and i can still alt-tab and anything else really. and in my dmesg, i get this: "[694245.939781] psmouse.c: resync failed, issuing reconnect request" [23:48] my phone has a setting to set it as a flash drive but it does not work correctly [23:48] MindVirus, if it was me i'd reinstall the os... [23:48] bucky: any way to regenerate the database? [23:49] For instance, can I disable a driver by using the root that one can get into from grub? [23:49] I need to break down and pay for a memory card reader,I washed my last one lol [23:49] danbhfive1: the problem is in my trackpad. [23:49] Hi, im having a problem installing a app from source. im installing Alephone and it gives me a error when i try to install it. does anyone know what i should do? [23:49] danbhfive1: no matter what I do I can't disable tap-to-click. [23:49] maybe I can fix it with duct tape and wd 40 [23:49] virtual box said installed....but cant find it [23:49] MindVirus, not that i know of but you might google for it [23:49] MindVirus: are you running jaunty or karmic? [23:49] danbhfive1: my Eee's running Karmic. [23:50] bucky, the driver is loaded [23:50] gtacs, good [23:50] karmic,is that the next generation ubuntu ?

[23:50] !karmic | DJNoMaD [23:50] DJNoMaD: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [23:51] danbhfive1: ignore that. [23:51] That's a different problem. [23:51] master_ go to virtualbox.org [23:51] i like the name Karmic [23:51] bucky: you mean nuke the post-removal script? I sure do [23:51] MindVirus: bah.. I've tried searching the ubuntu site for older packages but 2.6.24-8 just isn't there... and it's not one big repository you can add to reinstall them and then remove them.. [23:51] bucky, will it auto-start in the future? Is the just something required on initial installation? [23:51] Hydrid, he downloaded it jus cant find it [23:51] hybrid i shall [23:51] and there is a very simple help its so easy even for newbies [23:51] Slart: hmm. [23:51] MindVirus: I would go with a reinstall at some later date and just leave the kernel packages as they are for now [23:51] ohh ok [23:52] i will be afk for a bit [23:52] Slart: they don't bother me at all. [23:52] hybrid it said install cant find on system though? [23:52] Slart: but they feel like an itch to be scratched. [23:52] master try opening terminal and typing virtualbox [23:53] MindVirus: mm.. I wish apt had a "remove the package as good as you can but don't worry if you don't find every file"-option [23:53] Aye. [23:53] nevermind I wouldn't take advice from me about terminal things [23:53] apt's written in Python, right? [23:53] i had the same prob [23:53] MindVirus: not sure.. haven't really thought about it [23:53] but i reinstall the package and everythign whent goos [23:53] d [23:53] Slart: I think I'll write a patch right quick. [23:53] No. Too lazy. [23:54] ok it says cant find in terminal should i try ap iy [23:54] hey people, i need help with samba, does anybody can help me? [23:54] MindVirus: hehe [23:54] anyone testing Karmic? [23:54] Neonexus: yes. Ask in #ubuntu+1. [23:54] Is there a trick so links run by default instead of asking for one of those 4 options? === jabagawe` is now known as jabagawee [23:55] master_ try to reinstall the package [23:55] Neonexus, yep and a lot of people in #ubuntu+1 [23:55] hybrid i shall try [23:55] thanks [23:56] teadict, irssi will start with no options [23:56] double click the file and at the right corner it says reistall [23:56] if it doesnt work [23:56] do a reboot and after try again [23:56] bucky: How does that solve my problme? [23:56] teadict, but there's prolly a .links file that you can store defaults [23:57] bucky: Where? [23:57] I just ran sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose and its doing something [23:57] When a process segfaults, are all of the file descriptors that were opened in that process get closed? I'm wondering if a filehandle for a file opened as O_TEMPORARY would be destroyed if the process crashed without doing close() on it [23:57] its installing its ok === boleh is now known as eena [23:58] still installing [23:58] done [23:58] hello [23:58] Now to configure is it for a os system or similiar to wine [23:59] I have trouble mounting a USB flash drive. Does anyone think that they could possibly help me? [23:59] bucky: Ubuntu keeps a .links file for default configuration of links? [23:59] hello
